old antique ironstone china platter, big heavy rectangular china serving tray

We love this beautiful old ironstone china platter with it's faded flowers, worn and slightly browned from age and use. This one is a huge size, 17" x 11 1/2" overall.

The mark is John Maddock & Sons - England - Royal Vitreous China, 1890s vintage. The gold trim is very worn, but the china has no chips or cracks.
