Antique mid 1800's Ironstone transferware platter made by Frances Morley of Staffordshire (stamped on the back), England, in the company's Zamara pattern. This pattern is on the rare side. In fact, a quick search only revealed one other platter and two plates offered by other sellers. Intricate vines weave their way around the edges with the red transfer, and blues, greens, and yellows were hand-painted and fired on later. The platter is large, about 17 1/4" long by 13 1/2" wide. It is in good condition even for its age and for the repair done on the backside years ago. The plates are all 9 inches (the photos make it look otherwise for some reason-my guess is because of the angular shapes.) They are all in good to excellent condition, with little crazing despite the age. These are heavy, substantial antique ironstone pieces.
