VTG Buffalo China Roycroft 10 Platter Arts and Crafts Hand Painted Dard Hunter

  

Roycroft was a reformist community of craft workers and artists which formed part of the Arts and Crafts movement in the United States. Elbert Hubbard founded the community in 1895, in the village of East Aurora, New York, near Buffalo. Participants were known as Roycrofters. The work and philosophy of the group, often referred to as the Roycroft movement, had a strong influence on the development of American architecture and design in the early 20th century.

Dard Hunter contributed this design which was produced for use on the Campus as well as for retail sales to the public. Vintage original Buffalo China Roycroft 10 Serving Platter which was dropped long ago and lovingly re-glued like an old prehistoric pot! Minimal crazing and surprisingly free of knife marks, so I surmise this was never really used, but probably on display in a China cabinet. Then one fateful day was knocked over during daily house cleaning chores. Iconic Arts and Crafts Hand Painted Dard Hunter design on a semi-vitreous floral handled shape from Buffalo China.
