antique Wheeling pottery LaBelle china, huge platter pheasant game bird w/ flow blue

Rare old Wheeling / LaBelle china platter with a pheasant instead of the usual turkey. This is a massive piece, 19 1/2" long x 13" wide across the rim at the center.

Condition is rough, this is over 100 years old, and it's been much loved and used. It's worn, browned, chipped, cracked and poorly repaired, still a lovely thing for display or to use as a tray rather than to serve a pheasant!
