Description from the seller
John Ridgway - Monumental Antique "Imperial Stone China" Serving Platter / Platter with Chinoiserie & Imari Decor - England - ca. 1830–1840
Description
An impressive and highly decorative antique oval serving platter / meat platter made from so-called Imperial Stone China (ironstone) by the renowned English manufacturer John Ridgway (Staffordshire, Hanley), dating from the reign of King William IV / early Victorian era (ca. 1830–1840).
Decoration & Style:
The platter is executed in a pronounced Chinoiserie / Imari style, inspired by Asian motifs that were particularly beloved in 19th-century Europe.
Center: Hand-painted and pattered decoration of an Asian gondola/boat with figures on the water, surrounded by stylized rocks, water plants and floral elements in vibrant enamel colors (green, orange-red, yellow and cobalt blue).
Edge: Wavy and curved form with a deep cobalt blue rim, accented with orange-red acanthus scrolls, raised foliate motifs and graceful floral sprays.
Manufacturer & Marks:
On the underside is the underglaze stamp of the British Royal Coat of Arms with the lion and unicorn, the motto "Dieu et mon Droit" and the text "Imperial Stone China". This mark was used exclusively by John Ridgway in Cauldon Place, Hanley (Staffordshire). There is also a hand-applied blue painter’s or pattern-number (number 10) on the bottom.
What it was used for:
This type of large, heavy flat platter (meat platter / serving platter) was part of a luxurious, extensive porcelain service for the well-to-do middle class and aristocracy. It was used during formal dinners for presenting and serving large roasted meats, game or poultry. Ironstone / Stone China gained popularity in the mid-19th century as a sturdy, shatter-resistant alternative to true Chinese porcelain.
