Presented is a fine English Staffordshire porcelain serving tray or small platter, likely by Davenport. This piece dates to around the 1830s-1850s. The tray is made in an octagonal form with a decoratively shaped and edge, with a very elegant look. The pattern is white with sage green rims, decorated with gilt scrollwork and florettes in a peach or light orange color. Around the center are little hand painted sprays of colorful flowers, in delicate spring shades of pink, blue, yellow, purple and green, no two exactly alike.
This piece is in great overall condition, especially considering the age and material. The dish has some minor wear to the gilding and the peach flowers. There is a hairline that goes through the foot rim of the dish about an inch on either side, but does not extend to the edge. The dish still rings fairly well when tapped. There are no chips, no other cracks, and no repairs.
The dish measures about 9 3/8 inches in diameter and stands about 1 inch tall at the rim. -jm
