John Maddock & Sons “Dorothy” Ironstone Serving Platter
A substantial antique ironstone serving platter by John Maddock & Sons, featuring the classic Dorothy transferware pattern in green. Produced in England in the early 20th century, this piece reflects the durability and restrained decoration that made English ironstone a staple of farmhouse and utilitarian tables.
The oval form and generous scale make it well suited for serving or display, while the crisp transfer pattern adds quiet visual interest without overwhelming the form.
