This 1940s ironstone serving platter by Mason’s Patent Ironstone brings together the charm of the much-loved Vista pattern with the practical elegance of a handled square form. The pink transferware decoration depicts an Edwardian courtyard scene — figures gathered before a castle with a woodland backdrop — framed by a bold leaf border that gives the piece real decorative presence. It is the kind of vintage English tableware that feels just as natural displayed on a dresser shelf as it does laid out for an afternoon tea.

Mason’s Vista has remained a consistently collectible pattern, and this pink colourway is among the most sought-after. The square silhouette with shaped handles is a classic form from the period, generous in scale and beautifully weighted in the hand.
