Spectacular large oval porcelain platter with hand painted polychrome enamel decoration in the Imari palette. This beauty is embellished with gold trim and highlighted with bees and butterflies in the "Japonesque" taste. Measuring 25 3/4" across and 19 3/4" wide, it is perfect for serving and display- It could even make a wonderful side table mounted in a custom table frame. Another matching one is available, making a pair if desired. Ca.1870's
