A trip to Denver never disappoints!
I had a quilt meeting in Denver on Saturday; and while I did my thing, my husband met our son to walk around a couple of favorite antique malls. We met up again for lunch at a good Japanese restaurant. They reported that they had seen a bunch of brown transferware; and that's all I needed to hear!
After eating, we headed back to the antique mall so I could check the dishes out.
What they had seen were nice, but a little pricey for early 20th century transferware.
BUT, in another booth my eagle eye spied this 19th century beauty ---

A large 11" x 15" platter (platters are my weakness) ---
with a beautiful

Probably more than I should spend; but with 25% off, I couldn't resist.

Beautiful!
So detailed and crisp and OLD. Great find Sally.

I have a weakness for pieces from the Aesthetic Movement, too. I almost feel that I NEED to rescue them, especially if I find any at Goodwill. Enjoy your gift to yourself since it is much wiser to purchase something you love and will enjoy.
It is absolutely beautiful. I seldom find brown or black transfer ware but I've wanted to add some pieces of it to my collection of white ironstone for years, I recently found one beautiful piece and I did purchase it but it's a Johnson's Brothers brown transfer ware chamber pot. I will display as it is lovely but not with my white ironstone tableware. Congratulations on finding your lovely platter.

Oh my! What a wonderful platter! I simply love the little village scene. Great find.
