Description |
Serving platter by Allertons, Ltd. This "Stockholm" pattern by Allertons is reminiscent of Royal Copenhagen's "Blue Fluted Half* Lace" (1976.1.4950). The Allertons pieces were likely used to replace broken pieces of Royal Copenhagen. The Allertons "china" quality is lesser than the Royal Copenhagen china. It is not made of porcelain, rather it is a thicker and less dense material, perhaps ceramic or earthenware. The Allertons pieces have a simpler painted pattern and a greyish, rather than white, background. The pattern is painted in blue and based on stylised chrysanthemum and cinquefoil. The design includes depictions of flowers on stems, petals, leaves, and ivy |
Maker's Information |

Underneath there is a ribbon, inside it reads, "ALLERTONS". Under that it reads, "ENGLAND / STOCKHOLM". Stockholm is thought to be the name of the pattern. The style of this maker's mark dates the piece to 1909-1912. |
