This 19th-century oval ironstone platter was produced by the historic Staffordshire maker John Meir & Son likely for the growing American export market. The piece features a detailed brown transferware central American eagle design, beautifully surrounded by a decorative border punctuated with game bird medallions. The platter measures approximately 1 1/8 in. H x 15 5/8 in. W x 12 in. D, displaying authentic age-appropriate crazing and gentle discoloration consistent with its history and period of use.
