Hi Lindsay. This is a gorgeous platter! I feel like I've seen this pattern before, but it's not in our database and I can't find any info on it. It is very typical of c. 1880 Aesthetic transferware. As gorgeous as it is, however, I would not list it for $400. If you love it and think it's worth that much, buy it and enjoy it. But rest assured, you can find similar platters for half that price. I'm sorry I can't give you more information.

Lindsay, this platter is from the Aesthetic period. We have 2341 Aesthetic patterns recorded in our Database, with, no doubt, many more as yet unrecorded. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have this one recorded to date. I'll ask our Aesthetic period editor if she recognizes it.

We have a policy against provided discussions of value, so I'm afraid we cannot help you on that front.
