This listing is for an antique teal blue on white small oval serving platter manufactured in England by Royal Staffordshire Potteries in their "Carlton" pattern. It features beautiful teal blue flowers with an embossed perimeter and gold banding. From my research the platter has a circa date of around 1903. This piece was acquired from a local estate sale that featured many pieces of fine china and decorative collectibles.
The platter measures about 11 1/2 inches long and about 8 1/4 inches wide. The entire piece is in excellent condition for its age with no chips, cracks, or crazing. There are several light surface scratches on the face of the platter, but they're not readily noticable. The glaze and pattern are still crisp and bright and the blue is strong. The gold banding shows an overall minor wearing with a more moderate loss in spots, but I would say at least 80% of the gold still remains around the rim of the platter. Even with a few normal imperfections on the platter from the manufacturing process, this platter shows very well. I would still personally classify this piece in "Excellent" condition.
This is a beautiful example of antique Royal Staffordshire.
