About the Item

A striking Mason’s ironstone serving platter in the much-loved Mandalay pattern, celebrated for its richly layered decoration and unmistakable presence on the table. The platter features a lively arrangement of stylised flowers and scrolling foliage in shades of coral, pink, ochre, and green, anchored by deep cobalt-blue banding and finished with delicate gilt highlights. The shaped, scalloped rim and integrated side handles lend both drama and practicality. About the pattern Introduced by Mason’s in the early 20th century, Mandalay is a classic example of the firm’s talent for blending chinoiserie-inspired motifs with bold colour and strong form. The pattern’s saturated blues and expressive florals were designed to feel luxurious and decorative, while the ironstone body ensured durability—making it suitable for both display and use. For collectors Mason’s ironstone is renowned for its weight, strength, and visual confidence. Large serving pieces like this platter were centrepieces of the table, intended for roasts, sweets, or celebratory spreads. Today, Mandalay remains one of Mason’s most recognisable and collectible patterns, particularly in generously sized forms with crisp colour and intact gilding.
