Pair of Large Minton "Gold Crocus" Gilt Porcelain Serving Platters, England, ca. 1950s
An elegant and substantial pair of porcelain serving platters by Minton, among the most respected names in English ceramics. Produced in the 1950s, these exceptional pieces are rendered in the refined and now-discontinued "Gold Crocus" pattern (H4765), prized for its simplicity, luminosity, and understated luxury.
Each platter measures an impressive 17.5 inches long by 14.5 inches wide, ideal for formal service or display. At the center, a single gold crocus flower radiates from the pristine white porcelain ground, encircled by a gently fluted rim and finished with a scalloped gilt edge. The balance of classic form and elegant restraint reflects mid-century British design at its most elevated.
Marked with the post-1951 Mintons globe and laurel backstamp, these platters exemplify the house's dedication to refined artistry and fine tableware. Platters of this scale in the Gold Crocus pattern are rarely seen in pairs, making this offering particularly desirable for collectors or hosts seeking timeless presentation pieces.
Excellent vintage condition with only minimal wear consistent with age. A striking pair for the connoisseur of fine English porcelain.
