A magnificent Ridgways Blue Willow well & tree platter dating to 1891–1894, this substantial serving piece embodies everything collectors admire about late Victorian English transferware. Printed in a rich cobalt blue and measuring over 21 inches wide, it was designed to anchor the center of a beautifully appointed table and today makes an extraordinary statement displayed on a wall or sideboard.
Perhaps most compelling is its remarkable history. At some point in its life, this treasured platter was professionally repaired using traditional metal staples—an early conservation technique reserved for pieces considered too valuable to lose. The restoration is concentrated on the reverse, allowing the richly decorated front to display beautifully while preserving the story of a cherished family heirloom that was intentionally saved rather than discarded. Sturdy hanger, ready to hang.
