Antique W.H. Grindley “Florida” Flow Blue Platter, 12" Oval, Cobalt Roses, England c. 1891–1914

Rich cobalt roses, trailing floral garlands, and an ornate blue border frame the creamy center of this antique W.H. Grindley “Florida” oval platter. The softly flowing blue decoration and gently shaped rim bring timeless English charm to a collected china display or blue-and-white plate wall.

The reverse bears the W.H. Grindley & Co. England “Florida” backstamp, along with an “FB” mark, identified as “Flow Blue.” Both marks are shown in the photographs for collectors to examine; the FB mark alone is not a guarantee of authenticity. Dating is approximately 1891–1914.
