Ramona Porcelain Platter with Pheasants

A piece that quietly commands attention, this large oval porcelain platter brings with it the echoes of a century past. Produced by Knowles, Taylor & Knowles in East Liverpool, Ohio, sometime between 1900 and 1915, it reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of America's golden era of ceramics.

The surface of the platter is richly adorned with a hand-painted scene of golden pheasants in a natural landscape—an image that feels almost like memory, vivid yet softly faded by time. The brilliant gold detailing around the inner rim and border gleams with warmth, catching light at every angle. Gentle all-over crazing on the surface creates a textural map of age and authenticity, adding to the piece’s timeless character.

Knowles, Taylor & Knowles (K.T.&K. Co.) was once one of the largest and most respected pottery manufacturers in the United States. The "Ramona" line of semi-vitreous porcelain showcases their dedication to form, function, and ornamental beauty. This platter was likely used as a centerpiece at Sunday tables or reserved for the most special of occasions.

Whether displayed upright on a shelf, layered into a plate wall, or styled as part of an autumnal table setting, this piece brings not just beauty—but story—into your home.
