Description: Here's a huge oval serving platter in the old, and rare, "8667" Minton pattern. This pattern is often called "Lyre". It was produced from 1869 to 1878 I believe. It features a cobalt "flow blue" lyre shape, and rust colored flowers, on a pure white body with mustard/brown trim. I purchased a set of this. Although some are illegible due to the size, placement, or writer, all of the pieces have the handpainted number "8667" on them. All are also impressed "BB" and "NEW STONE". These marks were used by Minton in the mid 1800s. Each piece has tiny additional impressed marks that I believe at least one of which is a date mark according to my research. The ones I could make out are, as expected, in the mid 1800s era. This platter measures approximately 21" long and 16 1/2" wide at the rim. The inside is bright and shiny but it does have a moderate amount of utensil cuts/scratches. The mustard trim has wear so I've shown it from all 4 sides. Any discolored areas on the bottom are manufacturing flaws. No chips, other than nicks off trim, no cracks, or other damage.Please feel free to email with any questions prior to bidding or buying.
