DINNER SERVICE PIECE, 11.25" Serving Platter ONLY
Bleu De Roi design
Description: Cream/white background, extensive use of gold gilding/artwork and the distinctive Colbalt-Royal Blue banding
Visually stunning, very "regal" looking - fit for royalty!
1x medium oval serving platter 11.25" (29cm) x 9" (22.5cm)
Very good condition with minimal signs of use
No obvious cracks (also "wet" tested which often shows up cracks not visible at first glance, no marks or hairline cracks were apparent)
No stain marks
Very little crazing
Gold gilding around the top lip and pattern in good (minus) condition with some signs of handling wear - this was one of our most popular platters to use (not so heavy as the 14" platter) and the gold trim around the top lip has worn in places. Inner pattern design though is in very good condition.
All pieces have the makers mark (gold stamped) along with the factory workers ID "marks"
This is an original piece and not a reproduction
This dinner serving dish is quite HEAVY and will be very well packed for safe shipping.
