🌿 Antique Ridgway “Alexis” Platter — Rare Green Transferware — England 🇬🇧
A distinguished antique oval serving platter in the Alexis pattern by Ridgway—an increasingly scarce English transferware design featuring finely executed ribbon garlands, floral sprigs, and neoclassical scrollwork in a rich green tone.
This pattern reflects the refined decorative language of late Victorian tableware, where symmetry, delicacy, and restrained ornamentation were prioritized. The crisp transfer, balanced negative space, and elegant border articulation place this piece above more common mass-market patterns of the period.
Highly desirable for collectors of English transferware, Ridgway, and curated heritage table settings.
