Mason's Ironstone Pompadour Cheese Platter

This lovely Mason’s Ironstone rectangular serving plate features the elegant and highly collectable “Pompadour” pattern. The design showcases a graceful arrangement of blooming peonies and climbing floral sprays surrounding stylised cobalt blue rockwork, a nod to classic English chinoiserie style. The colours are beautifully balanced—coral orange, soft pink, sunny yellow, vivid cobalt blue, and fresh leafy greens—all set on a warm cream ground.

The border is framed with the distinctive Pompadour repeating flower chain in orange and blue, adding a charming decorative finish to the piece. The plate has softly rounded corners and a gently raised rim, making it practical for serving while also highly decorative for display.
