Antique Blue and White Transferware Large Serving Platter - E & N (Elkin & Newbon)

This antique blue and white transferware platter features the timeless Blue Willow pattern, a design that has remained a classic since the 18th century. Based on the "E & N" backstamp, this specific piece was manufactured by Elkin & Newbon in Longton, Staffordshire, dating it precisely between 1844 and 1855. The "Warranted Staffordshire" mark reflects a stamp of quality and origin common to this era. It is genuine Victorian heritage and the enduring popularity of the Willow design, which tells a romanticized Chinese fable of two lovers transformed into birds. As a piece of mid-19th-century earthenware, it combines historical charm with a sturdy, utilitarian form that is highly sought after by collectors of English transferware
