I believe it's made by Homer Laughlin. Louis XVI Platter in 722 pattern
Hi MaRia,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Homer Laughlin produced transfer-printed dinnerware primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company, founded in 1871, initially focused on white ironstone and semi-porcelain but later adopted transfer printing as a popular decorative technique.
By the 1890s and early 1900s, transfer-printed patterns became more common in their product lines, often featuring floral, scenic, or classical motifs. This technique allowed for mass production of intricate designs at a lower cost compared to hand painting.
The darkening of the glaze on this platter is a condition flaw and warrants a value of $30-50.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
