Priory E Challinor & Co. Serving Platter

This antique ironstone serving platter from E. Challinor & Co. features Priory, a pattern born in the late 1830s when Gothic shapes and blue-printed scenes ruled the table. A border of scenic cartouches and scrollwork frames the central vignette: a well-dressed Victorian family pausing riverside, gazing across at an ancient, mysterious priory. Equal parts pastoral charm and gothic daydream, it’s a feast for the eyes before the food even arrives.
