This pattern is retired and a rare find. I personally purchased this Platter at Harrods of London in the 1990’s.

Made in England for the Williamsburg collection, this large oval platter features a procession of fantastical Chinese guardian lion/tiger figures rendered in rich emerald green against luminous white bone china. A delicate gold rim follows the softly shaped edge, providing an elegant finishing detail.

The combination of saturated green, white porcelain and gilt detailing gives the piece a wonderful chinoiserie character while remaining remarkably fresh and graphic. It works beautifully as both functional serveware and decorative porcelain.

At approximately 14 inches wide, the platter has enough scale to make an impressive display piece on a plate stand, incorporated into a china cabinet or layered into a traditional, Hollywood Regency, Grandmillennial or chinoiserie-inspired interior.

The reverse carries the Wedgwood mark identifying the pattern:
