Description

Vintage Retro Harker Harkerware Everglades Cattails Large Oval Serving Platter
All of the art work and collectibles being sold by Adams-Byrd Fine Art & Antiques have been collected and selected one at a time by the proprietor, an art historian with many years of training and experience in university art history departments, museums, galleries, and historic sites both in the U.S. and abroad.  The business has been based in the Washington, D.C. area for many years. The art and collectibles that we are offering to eBay buyers are special and unique pieces that have been carefully “curated” by us.
This Harkerware vintage large serving platter in the Everglades pattern features cattails and papyrus in white (off white).  This discontinued pattern in an interesting mauve / tan color is not an easy one to find.  This 13 1/4" x 11 1/4" oval platter is in good used vintage condition.  There are surface scratches / marks / abrasions from use and wear.
Use it and / or display it (either hung on a wall or on a table top easel / stand).  This is one of the few vintage mid-century patterns featuring cattails that we have found over the years.
On the back, the manufacturer's printed mark reads:    OVENPROOF   HARKERWARE   SINCE 1840     DISH WASHER PROOF   U.S.A.
All items we sell are from a pet free and smoke free environment – unless prior owner history is noted above.
