{"product_id":"ridgways-blue-willow-semi-china-12-serving-platter-england-vintage-1920s","title":"Ridgways Blue Willow Semi China 12\" Serving Platter England Vintage 1920s","description":"A classic vintage Ridgways Blue Willow serving platter featuring the iconic cobalt blue Chinoiserie landscape on an ivory-white ground. The elaborate transferware scene includes pagodas, trees, a bridge, figures, boats and the familiar pair of birds, surrounded by richly detailed geometric and floral borders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Staffordshire, England, this substantial 12\" platter carries the Ridgways Semi China backstamp with “Engraved 1832 for W. Ridgway \u0026amp; Co.” The 1832 date refers to the original engraving and pattern rather than the manufacture date of this particular platter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis platter shows considerable age and use, including overall crazing, discoloration and staining within the crazing, surface wear, several rim chips\/frits and hairlines\/cracks. One of the more noticeable hairlines extends inward from the rim. Despite these issues, the cobalt transfer decoration remains strong and the platter displays very well as an authentic period example. Please review the photographs closely for the extent of the age-related condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Manufacturer: Ridgways\u003cbr\u003e- Pattern: Willow \/ Blue Willow\u003cbr\u003e- Form: Rectangular serving platter\u003cbr\u003e- Design Style: Chinoiserie \/ English Blue \u0026amp; White\u003cbr\u003e- Decoration: Cobalt blue transferware\u003cbr\u003e- Pattern Design: Pagodas, bridge, trees, figures, boats and birds\u003cbr\u003e- Material: Semi China \/ earthenware\u003cbr\u003e- Period: Early 20th century\u003cbr\u003e- Date: Circa 1920s\u003cbr\u003e- Origin: Staffordshire, England\u003cbr\u003e- Backstamp: Ridgways England Semi China\u003cbr\u003e- Backstamp Text: Engraved 1832 for W.
