Featured Transferware

Happy New Year... hopefully happier than the last!

I have an oval serving platter, with the name Iona ? which I'm presuming is a pattern. I've searched for the same but everything I find isn't it! I've tried searching waterlily, heron and stork... still no luck.

I thought it looked similar to Minton Aesthetic transferware, however, I could be completely wrong... as I'm certainly no expert.

Can any of you good people on here help me out?

Thank you.

 

I think you may struggle to identify the maker but I think you are right about the aesthetic period. There are a few examples for sale but none have identified a maker.

 

Thank you John much appreciated. Pleased I actually have the period correct, all these internet searches must be actually sinking in

 

Late nineteenth. Problem is, factories made the transfers then sold them on to others.

 

Thank you, much appreciated!

 

Thanks to both - your invaluable help has helped me find the manufacturer of the platter... as I mentioned I'd searched for and age. Then I put in the late nineteenth century Iona.. and BOOM... I have a match!
