A beautiful antique Johnson Brothers Flow Blue serving platter in the Normandy pattern, made in England around the turn of the 20th century.
The large oval platter features the rich cobalt-blue flowing decoration for which Flow Blue is collected, with a border of broad leaves and delicate floral details set against crisp white. The deeply molded, scalloped rim is finished with elegant gold gilt accents, giving the piece wonderful dimension and presence.
At approximately 16” × 12”, this is a substantial serving platter and an especially striking display piece. The open white center beautifully showcases the ornate cobalt and gilt border, whether used for serving or displayed in a cabinet, on a stand, or as part of a blue-and-white collection.
The underside bears the period crown mark with “JOHNSON BROS / ENGLAND”, along with the number 35.
