Platters are a beautiful addition to a French farmhouse kitchen, especially around the holiday times. They tell a story about sharing and gathering together. When I find a vintage transferware piece in a unique slate blue color with a simple floral pattern, I have to have it. I don’t mind the imperfections of old ironstone. I embrace it.

If you are a collector of French transferware, this large round platter with a subtle scalloped edge will be a welcoming addition to your collection. Please note the patina which is what you come to expect from authentic French pieces from the late 19th century.
