Vintage "Harvest" Sandwich Platter - Swinnertons




Cream coloured sandwich platter in the Harvest pattern by Swinnertons of Hanley. The pattern is I think violets and primroses, the edge is gadrooned with gold lines either side, the outer one of which is slightly worn in places. There are also two ancient chips to the footring, neither of which threaten the overall integrity of the plate. The Swinnertons as a company ceased in 1973 after the parent company was absorbed into Doulton's but the name itself probably wasn't used after the early 1960s. This item may date from the 1920s or later.
