Here for you consideration a rare piece of authentic Doulton & Co. (Burslem) Rectangular Serving Platter in the highly collectible \"Elaine\" pattern. Measures 13 ½\" x 10 ½\"
This Victorian-era piece features an elegant floral transfer design.
The reverse side bears the crisp, stamped Doulton Burslem \"Elaine\" ribbon-and-dagger maker\'s mark. It explicitly includes the British Registered Design Number 80530, which officially dates the registration of this pattern to 1887. It also shows the handwritten hand-painted pink decorator/batch inventory number 13246 and an impressed pottery stamp.
This item is in good antique condition, especially considering it is nearly 140 years old! There are no structural cracks or major structural chips. It displays beautiful, authentic age-related crazing throughout the glaze. There is some light, localized vintage surface discoloration/staining near the central urn graphic on the front face, typical of authentic 19th-century earthenware, which adds beautiful antique character.
