Platters are beautiful in a kitchen. They’re decorative. They call out for sharing and gathering together. When I find a vintage transferware piece in my favorite French Blue color, I have to have it. I don’t mind the imperfections of old ironstone. I embrace them.

If you are a collector of French transferware, this round platter will be a welcoming addition to your collection. Please note the patina which is what you come to expect from authentic pieces from the late 19th century. There is a small, ancient chip on the underside of the rim. I noted it in a photo below.
