This is a vintage oval turkey serving platter, typically crafted from brown transferware ceramic or ironstone. Popularized by makers like Johnson Brothers (for their "His Majesty" pattern) and Fred Roberts, this style features a central, hand-tinted portrait of a majestic tom turkey in a pastoral farm landscape. The wide, scalloped rim is decorated with an intricate harvest fruit and floral border, showcasing colorful hand-painted motifs of grapes, pears, and apples. Often made in Japan or England during the mid-20th century, these platters are classic Thanksgiving centerpieces prized for their rustic charm and detailed craftsmanship. 16" x 12" Show more
