Victorian Era Ghost Town Platter

This incredible find - A Victorian Era Semi-Porcelain Flow Blue Serving Platter by Staffordshire potters, Myott Son & Co. of England - Was found shattered yet complete in the Canadian Ghost Town ruins of Nitchequon.Historically, there was a community of Cree inhabiting Nitchequon as well as some Naskapi residents. The Hudson Bay Company used Nitchequon as a stop and/or trading post along the fur-trader routes from 1816-1943.
