Question:

Hello! I have a 13 inch off white platter that looks to be and was sold to me as, the red wing magnolia pattern, the one with the magnolia blossom in relief and “antiqued” with brown paint around the edges of the magnolia blossom and leaves. However, as this platter is deep and slightly pedastalled, the bottom is open, rather than flat like most pieces. It is unmarked. Do you think this platter was made by red wing, or is it a knockoff? Thank You in advance! Jennifer

Answer:

this is # 1032, from the Magnolia line, circa 1942.  It books for around 100.00 or so.  thanks, steve n rose
