I have recently been given an old, large platter 18 x 15 inch approx. It is Willow Pattern blue and white and has mark on the bottom comprising the script initials JH (I think its a J) and under that a crown (on a jaunty angle), some branches with leaves on either side of the crown. Under that is a wavy, scroll ribbon saying STAFFORDSHIRE STONE CHINA. There is also a 16 insized into the china. On either end of the platter there are blue marks like fingerprints left by the painter!! It has a stepped rings before having a flat bottom. The blue and white is transfer printed I think and there are a couple of 'mistakes' on the platter. It is in quite good condition and the colour is good. Thank you for any information you can give me about it - much appreciated. Deb from Australia.
