New Wharf Pottery Waldorf Flow Blue Oval Serving Platter & Plate

Deep cobalt ornament gathers around the undulating rim of this oval serving platter and dinner plate, leaving a broad, luminous white center accented by a small floral medallion. The softly diffused blue decoration is characteristic of flow-blue tableware, where printed motifs develop an atmospheric, slightly blurred quality beneath the glaze. The scalloped outline adds movement to a substantial traditional serving form and it’s companion plate.

Decorated in the Waldorf pattern by New Wharf Pottery of Staffordshire, the design reflects the popularity of richly decorated English transferware using a flown method around the turn of the twentieth century. Note the set is in overall very good antique condition with the plate having a chip on the front that was previously filled in, and is pictured.
