A rare find, this bone china platter was made by Aynsley and is stamped with Louis XV/8328, a mark that Kovels’ places during the late 19th century (see picture for mark). In perfect condition with no chips, cracks or repairs, this impressive piece measures 17” long by 13.5” wide, and has gold trimmed scalloped edges that are complimented by a gold scrollwork pattern. Definitely an eye-catching piece for your collection, this is a versatile pattern that will work with a wide range of decors.
AYNSLEY, John (1823-1907), pottery manufacturer, Longton.
John Aynsley and Sons LTD. was founded in Stoke-on-Trent in 1775. This company that has now been in business for over 200 years grew from a small pottery that originated as a hobby! John Aynsley's grandson, John Aynsley II, introduced fine bone china production to the pottery in the mid 19th century, creating a separate factory in 1861 built solely for manufacturing the new wares. That factory, known as the Portland Works, is still at the center of the manufacturing base of operations in Stoke-on-Trent today. Aynsley's current product lines include fine tableware, giftware and bone china flowers. Royal families and heads of state around the world have chosen Aynsley for their tables.
