This is an antique 1890's brown transferware cream platter made by Johnson Bros. The pattern is called "Mignon" which means "small & delicate" in French. It's of the same timeline as the Art Nouveau and the Arts & Crafts Movements. But, I don't see it falling neatly into either style. It is a Nature inspired design. Johnson Bros. went out of business in 2015, so they were in production for over a century. They were one of the first potteries to introduce ironware, which is a refined earthenware and a big deal at the time. Of course there is no iron in ironware. It's name is due to its strength & durability. Ironware or ironstone is a type of vitreous pottery first made in the U.K. in the early 1900's. Vitreous china has an enamel coating that is applied to ceramics after they've been fired. This gives them a finer appearance. A growing middle class wanted nice, affordable, useable dinnerware. Ironware was a cheaper, mass-produced alternative for porcelain.
