According to Kovel's, Gaudy Ironstone was made in England for the American market after 1850. It is an ironstone ware with bright patterns often in floral designs. Gaudy Dutch and Gaudy Welsh are earthenware made in England for export to America in the early to mid 19th century.<p>

Gaudy Dutch often presents Imari-style decorations in the colors of red, blue, green, yellow, and black. Gaudy Welsh, also an Imari-decorated earthenware, shows the colors of red, blue, green, and gold decorations.<p>

The platter is outlined in double lines on its rim as well as around its inner oval in a single line in kelly green. (This line is the only part of the set which shows slight indication of wear, possibly from method of storage.) The variations in this hand-painted design ...
