Spode Stone China “Willis Indian Tree” Deep Serving Platter

This generously sized deep platter is a standout example of Spode’s early Willis Indian Tree design, crafted circa 1840 in Stone China. With bold hand-colored transfer florals in crimson, green, cobalt, and gold, it brings an exotic Victorian elegance to the table.

What makes this piece especially unique is its depth (2"), ideal for serving saucy roasts, poached fruits, or layered vegetables. The octagonal rim and slightly elevated sides combine utility with high style, making it as functional as it is collectible.
