Spode Blue Italian Square Cake Plate Platter Twin Handled England AS IS For Sale

Add a classic touch to your next dessert service with this vintage Spode \'Blue Italian\' square twin-handled cake plate platter. Proudly crafted in England, this piece features the legendary blue and white underglaze transfer design first introduced in 1816. The artwork beautifully balances a central Roman ruin pastoral scene with an intricate 18th-century oriental floral border.Measuring approximately 11.5 inches from handle to handle, this platter features elegant scalloped edges and molded tab handles that provide a steady grip for serving cakes, pastries, or hors d\'oeuvres.The top presentation surface is in excellent cosmetic condition with a brilliant, high-gloss glaze and rich cobalt blue coloration. It does have one notable flaw: a small, shallow chip on the backside rim edge (clearly shown in the close-up photo). This imperfection is completely hidden from view when the platter is sitting flat on a table or resting on a display stand, leaving the front presentation completely unaffected.
