Subject:Identifying Octagon Platter From 1830's
Posted By: Ron B. Sun, Feb 14, 2021 IP: 141.126.239.18 Hello. I recently purchased an octagon shaped platter at auction, that was described as "Early 1830's Canton Chinese Platter With Peacock Design". I am unable to identify or price it and am hoping someone can help with some info that might point me in the right direction. |

Posted By: Ron B. Wed, Feb 17, 2021 Good morning Dan and thank you very much for sharing your amazing knowledge! Very impressive and I must say you pointed me in directions I never would have explored. After a few hours of research on Google, I found that there seems to be a nearly endless number of patterns, all similar to the next, in certain ways. I will continue to try and fine an exact match to the pattern on my piece, but out of curiosity, I paid just shy of $80 for the Platter at auction. Do you by chance, think I did OK, or overpaid? I just thought with the beautiful condition it is in, the size, which by the way is roughly 12" x 9.5" and the fact that it an octagon shaped platter, I had to bid. |
