Antique Mason's Ironstone Oriental Pheasant Pattern Platter c.1912

Description

Antique Mason's Ironstone Oriental Pheasant Pattern Platter c.1912. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
Please see photos for details of condition. There is some crazing and discoloration that can be seen on the front and also across the back. This is an expected issue with glass of this age. There is some loss of gold paint on the edge as shown. Some of these areas are rough to the touch. I do not think they represent chips to the platter.
This is a 13 x 9.25” decorative platter by Mason’s Ironstone with pattern C221, in the “Oriental Pheasant” motif. This is a distinctive antique featuring a popular Mason’s Ironstone Chinoiserie decoration. Variations of this pattern may be seen on other of Mason’s pieces from various time periods.
According to the Replacements.com website this exact plate and pattern C221 was discontinued in the late 1800’s. The price guides I consulted indicate it is likely a 1912 production.
The word “England” was added to the Masons mark after 1891. One guide to Masons marks suggests the C 221 pattern would be made in 1900’s. There is an indented impression of 12 stamped on the back which likely refers to 1912, according to the pricing guide I consulted.
I also have four 10.5” plates and 3 small dessert plates. This offer is for one platter. Ask about others available.

“About Ironstone:
First patented in 1813 by Charles Mason in Stafforshire, England, ironstone is made of porous earthenware, coated with a fired-on glaze that makes it both impermeable to liquids and difficult to break. (It is not made of iron.)
It is heavier than other ceramic wares and often has a bluish tinge. It was initially developed as a frugal alternative to the more expensive porcelain. Americans especially coveted the white ironstone, while the English enjoyed transfer-decorated ironstone.”
