Oh, this is so gorgeous! Perfect, perfect, perfect for your Thanksgiving feast...and a feast for the eyes of any serious transferware collector, too. In fact, I sort of secretly don't want it to sell!  This humongous platter depicts a stunning wild turkey with a border of foliage around it. It was made in 1910 by Royal Cauldon of England.

It's in wonderful condition having only some  minor crazing. There are no chips or cracks on this 100 year old beauty. This platter was used for display and has a custom brass fitting for hanging.  

Measures: Appx 22” x 19” this baby will hold a 24 pound bird...I know because I've served on one of these!

See my blog posts to learn more about English Transferware. I was featured (and this platter to!) in the Nov 2011 issue of Romantic Homes magazine where I discussed turkey themed transferware:

I have seen this same Cauldon turkey platter sell on other websites and at auction for $849-1199.
