A fantastic antique willow platter by Ridgways, circa. late 1800
The Blue Willow pattern comes with its beautiful romantic love tragedy. It’s such a great conversation starter for hosting.
There are hundreds of manufactures worldwide that make Blue Willow nowadays, but the rarity of this fab find comes from its maker, age, size and condition.
The Ridgway family is one of the most important manufactures in the English Staffordshire pottery history.
This 120-plus-year-old beauty made by the Ridgways is extra large sitting at 19.5” long. Other than some crazing and age-associated discoloration, it is in very good antique condition with no chips or cracks.
