Southern Potteries Cock-O-The-Walk Platter

Southern Potteries / Blue Ridge Potteries “Cock O The Walk” platter. Measures 11 ¾” long and 9” wide. It is in near excellent condition with virtually no utensil marks. I saw two, both light and under ½” long. No chips, cracks, or crazing with the exception of a dark spot on one edge that may actually be a glaze pop with a bit of staining. It measures under 1/16” and is barely visible. This is a rather different pattern of rooster than all the other Southern Potteries’ designs that I have been able to find any place at all. Definetle hand painted under glaze. The colors are bright and crisp. The mark on the back is definitely Southern and is shown in the book of U.S. Marks, by Lehners. Dating sometime between 1917 and 1957
