A timeless piece of English pottery, this antique Blue Willow platter by Wedgwood & Co. brings enduring charm and storybook romance to any table or display. Crafted in England, this piece showcases the iconic Willow pattern, a beloved design that has captured imaginations since the late 18th century.

The Blue Willow motif, with its vivid cobalt blue on creamy white earthenware, is steeped in folklore. The scene depicts a Chinese-inspired landscape complete with a pagoda, bridge, willow trees, and the famed pair of lovebirds in flight — symbols of eternal love and reunion. First introduced in England around 1780, Blue Willow ware became a staple of British ceramics, loved for both its beauty and its storytelling.

This platter bears the mark of Wedgwood & Co. Ltd., a distinguished pottery manufacturer based in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England (not to be confused with the more widely known Josiah Wedgwood & Sons). Active primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Wedgwood & Co. produced high-quality ceramics that are now sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and rich history.

Perfect for serving or as a decorative wall or shelf accent, this platter adds a layer of heritage and elegance to any setting.
