Vintage Ridgway Steelite Vitreous China Oval Platter - Blue Scroll Pattern

Vintage Ridgway Steelite Vitreous China Oval Serving Platter This beautiful, sturdy oval serving platter comes from Ridgway Steelite of England, a brand highly regarded for producing durable Vitreous China (also known as Hotelware or Restaurant Ware). This heavy-duty china is designed to be chip, stain, and detergent proof, making it an extremely practical and long-lasting piece of vintage serveware. The platter features a striking light blue and gray/silver scrollwork border in a repeating, ornate pattern, giving it a lovely vintage aesthetic that fits well with Mid-Century, Traditional, or Cottagecore kitchen decor. The pattern is elegant and offers a nice contrast against the bright white china. The backstamp clearly reads "RIDGWAY STEELITE VITREOUS CHINA ENGLAND REG'D TRADE MARK 72885." The registration number (72885) suggests this pattern was registered around the late 1920s to early 1930s, though the item itself may have been manufactured later, potentially through the mid-20th century. This piece is perfect for serving main courses, appetizers, cheeses, or simply using as a decorative kitchen accent on a hutch or shelf.
