This style was made in Staffordshire and Leeds areas in England, circa 1840-60. This is a large serving platter with raised edge featuring cobalt blue “feather edge” design. Unmarked. Measures 15 ¾” x 12” x 1 ¼”. Platter has a vertical repair down the center; a 2 ½” x 2” piece has also been glued back into place along the top edge just to the right of the center separation. A couple of small chips on edge; crackling visible on bottom surface.

Ironware was a cheaper, mass-produced alternative for porcelain. There is no iron in ironstone; its name is derived from its notable strength and durability.

From Fred Edmunds collection, this and others were recovered from Oconee River in Milledgeville, Georgia.  [jet][ph:L]
