Description:
A mid-19th-century English black transferware platter with molded handles, attributed to William Adams & Sons in the “Tuscan Rose” pattern. The scalloped oval rim and openwork handles frame a dark floral transfer print, finished with a lacy botanical border. It was likely made as an undertray for a tureen or a serving dish, and it is a lovely size for the vanity, a console, or a plate wall.

Use it as a catchall for keys and jewelry, a small serving tray, or wall decor. It suits traditional, grandmillennial, and modern rustic rooms.
