This is a vintage oversized turkey serving platter, often identified with patterns like "King Tom" or "An American Tradition." Made from durable ironstone or porcelain, this piece features a detailed brown transferware design centered on a majestic, multi-colored tom turkey standing in a rural farm landscape with a quaint farmhouse and wooden fence in the background. The wide rim is decorated with a lush, polychrome border of purple grapes, golden pears, and red apples intertwined with brown vines and leaves. Typically produced in Japan during the mid-20th century, these platters are iconic Thanksgiving collectibles prized for their hand-painted accents and classic autumnal aesthetic. 16" x 12" Show more
