This is a part of a selection of rarer 1950s British tablewares that I am listing. Postal discounts would of course apply for multiple purchases.
This is a pair of oval serving platters. They are made by Crown Ducal - as you can see on the lovely back stamp on the base. The pattern name is also applied here - it is called Water Lily.
Crown Ducal issued this design in two different colours: one with a blue-grey banding on the rim and another variant with a dusty pink band. These probably date to the mid-1950s. They are now rarer survivors and not so many dinnerware pieces with this pattern seem to have survived. The rarity of these, the attractiveness of the design, and the fact that these are now over 60 years old and in generally good vintage condition are reflected in my asking price.
On offer here are the two oval serving platters - great for serving up sandwiches and cold dry foodstuffs (or just for display!) They measure 12 x 10 inches and 13 x 11 inches.
They are in fine vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There are no disfiguring cutlery marks on the pattern or surface. Both have some age-related crackling to the shiny clear glaze, as photographed in close-up - it looks more severe in the images than in real life. Please inspect my images.

These are priced at £15 each - as they are the harder-to-find platters and the more attractive pink colour. This price takes into consideration the bits of crackling to the glaze. I am going to have to send these with Parcelforce48 - due to the weight - they are 1.6 kg unpacked.
Postage would be about £6..95 for this set (UK Royal Mail Recorded) - I could cap additional items for a capped price of £10 (Parcelforce48 Recorded) - excess postage paid would be quickly refunded to you.
