antique vintage brown transferware, stained white ironstone china platters, Columbia pattern England

Large and small platters in the Columbia pattern Johnson Bros English ironstone. These are more than a hundred years old, and are showing crazing, browning, staining and old chips. Tons of character and charm!

The pattern is a finely detailed floral in dark brown on white, on 12" and 14" platters. I don't know the name of this unusually curved shape, but it displays beautifully and gives the form as much attention as the pattern.
