BIG Antique FLOW BLUE PLATTER & Vegetable BOWL w CASTLE-sold $142
If you’re trying to fill a great big old cupboard with authentic antique flow blue, you’ll be able to live with the issues you’ll find on both pieces. The platter has a gouge in the surface, and the bowl has some chips, dings and other infirmities.
I could probably grab some books off the shelf and identify both the ink stamp and the impressed mark, but I’m going to leave that to you. At my age, staring at pictures of flow blue china patterns and marks for too long gives me the blind staggers.
