Shelley Blue Iris Turkey Platter

£120.00

A rare set of bone china made in the Queen Anne shape and hand painted with the blue Iris pattern. It was the most iconic of the floral patterns produced by Shelley in the 1920s for the Queen Anne shape. Lovely hand enamelled blue irises, some open and some as buds on each panel, together with dainty sprays in orange and yellow, the rim lined with blue enamel.

Marked with the green Shelley England factory stamp to base. Pattern # 11561.

This incredibly rare and colossal platter was made circa 1930 and is fit for a large bird or any sizeable amount of food.

The Oval Platter measures 49 cm x 39 cm

It is in lovely condition, the white glaze and enamel paints are bright, and there is no crazing.

It has been used and has some staining, a flat chip to the rim and under a light a small hairline in the glaze.

Displays well and is perfectly fit for use.
