LARGE Antique English Platter Drainer
Staffordshire Blue Willow Transferware Plateau circa 1847 #2
~Direct from England~
~A lovely antique English meat drainer…have you EVER seen one? We discovered these many years ago, and are always “on the hunt” for them when in Europe. They are perfectly suited to use on the wall (as you would platters, or mixed with platters) OR to use in a stand. Certainly a very elegant European touch and always a conversation piece!~
Here’s a bit of history about strainers/drainers:
Somewhere in the early 1800’s, dinner sets would include a “drainer” or what was also called a “mezzanine”. Typically flat, with a hole in the center and smaller holes all around it. The drainer would fit inside a large serving platter or dish, and was used when serving meat/fish, to drain the juices below.
~VERY LARGE SIZE, with the classic “Blue Willow” design across the front~
~Maker’s IMPRESSED stamp on back, I cannot read it specifically. circa 1833 – 1847~
Measurements:
15” x 10.75” .
