Beautiful antique English Staffordshire serving platter in the Rose & Lily pattern by Beech, Hancock & Co., dating to approximately 1851–1855. This remarkable mid-19th-century earthenware platter features an elaborate brown transferware design with a central bouquet of cabbage roses, lilies, and delicate flowering branches, surrounded by smaller floral sprays and ornate rococo-inspired scrollwork along the border.
Manufactured at the Swan Bank Pottery in Burslem, Staffordshire, England, this platter dates to the brief partnership of James Beech and Benjamin Hancock. The underside bears the decorative Rose & Lily cartouche with the B.H. & Co. maker’s mark, helping establish its mid-19th-century origins.
More than 170 years old, this substantial platter has developed a beautiful warm, toasted patina that complements its rich brown floral decoration. A wonderful piece for an antique transferware collection, displayed on a plate rack, or incorporated into a collected traditional or eclectic interior.
