UP FOR AUCTION A MAGNIFICENT PLATTER BY "WELL KNOWN" DESIGNER LESLEY ROY. IN CASE, YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH HER (CAN'T IMAGINE BUT ANYWAY) SHE HAS DONE PIECES FOR STEVEN WYNN CASINO IN LAS VEGAS, WELL KNOWN AROUND THE COUNTRY FOR HER MOST UNUSUAL DESIGN TECHNIQUES. THIS PLATTER IS OF THE FRUIT SERIES AND SHOW GRAPES. THIS PIECE IS SIGNED BY HER ON THE BACK AND I HAVE TO SAY THE PICTURES "DO NOT" SHOW THE BEAUTY/COLOR OR QUALITY OF THIS PIECE..COLORS ON THE BACKGROUND ARE A SOFT MUTED YELLOW WITH GOLD AND GRAPES A VERY DEEP PURPLE WITH CRACKLE GOLD LINES. THE BACK IS DEEP GOLD WITH TURQUOISE..MEASURES 19 1/2" BY 12"..THE ONLY DAMAGE I SEE ARE SCRATCHES ON THE BACK OF PIECE THAT ARE IN THE OUTER LAYER OF THE OVERGLAZE. ONE SCRATCH ON THE FRONT BUT REALLY IS NOT NOTICIBLE UNLESS TURNED A CERTAIN WAY TOWARDS THE LIGHT. *****PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS AN OLDER PIECE AND IS NOT NEW***IT IS USED BUT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

THIS WOULD LOOK FANTASTIC HANGING ON THE WALL FOR DISPLAY..USE LARGE COATED PLATE HANGERS TO HANG..THIS PIECE WILL BE WRAPPED EXTREMELY WELL WHICH WILL ACCOUNT FOR THE SHIPPING CHARGE WHICH INCLUDES INS/TRACKING.****************NO E CHECKS*********IF PIECE ARRIVES DAMAGED PLEASE SAVE ALL YOUR PACKAGING TO PRESENT AT POST OFFICE IS REQUIRED.
