- Length: 29.3cm

- Very Good - The platter is structurally sound with vivid designs, despite wear on the gold trim indicative of its antique nature.

- Design and Aesthetic:
The centre of the platter showcases a delicate floral pattern, executed in a classic blue-on-white palette. Surrounding this, the rim is adorned with a vibrant garland of daisy-like blossoms in various shades of blue, detailed with white accents to emphasise their beauty against the platter's white background. Originally trimmed with a luxurious gold band, which has now experienced some wear, the platter still retains a grandeur that resonates with its antique status.

- Historical Significance:
On the reverse, the platter bears the blue maker’s mark of Royal Worcester Vitreous, complete with the iconic Royal Worcester crest. This mark not only signifies its authenticity but also adds to its collectible value. Accompanied by a registry number "R N 3614," it provides insight into the design's registration and historical context. The use of vitreous porcelain marks this piece as not only beautiful but durable, crafted to stand the test of time.

- Condition and Appeal:
Despite showing signs of age such as wear on the gold trim and marks on the base, the platter's rich design remains vivid and striking. It stands as a testament to the lasting quality and allure of Royal Worcester's craftsmanship.
