13.5" Oval Platter

This striking Royal Crown Derby Blue Aves oval platter showcases the timeless beauty of one of the company’s most celebrated patterns. Measuring 13.5 inches in length, the platter features an intricate cobalt-blue design inspired by exotic birds, blossoming foliage, and lush botanical motifs. The richly detailed artwork—adapted from 19th-century illustrations—is masterfully transferred onto fine bone china, creating a tapestry of sweeping feathers, perched birds, and cascading florals that wrap elegantly across the surface.

The crisp blue-on-white palette highlights the precision of the pattern, while the gently scalloped edge is finished with a band of hand-applied 22-karat gold, adding a refined touch of brilliance. With its generous size and decorative impact, this platter serves beautifully as a functional serving piece or as a striking display item within a curated china collection. A perfect example of Royal Crown Derby’s craftsmanship, the Blue Aves pattern remains a favorite among collectors and admirers of traditional English design.
