Offered here from the dougfinds collection of curated
fashion, accessories, clothing, collectibles, and unique finds is this this
striking Pier 1 Imports Alexandria hand-painted earthenware serving platter,
featuring the collection's wonderfully bold floral design in an unusual
oversized paisley / teardrop form.
Part of Pier 1's now-discontinued
Alexandria dinnerware collection, this large statement piece combines
a warm golden-yellow ground with deep red flowers, trailing green foliage, rich
blue bands and a graphic black diamond border.
What really separates this platter from ordinary serveware
is the shape. Rather than a conventional oval or rectangle, the piece sweeps
into a dramatic asymmetrical paisley / teardrop silhouette, complete with a
raised center curl and gently undulating rim. It looks terrific sitting empty
on a table and becomes an instant centerpiece when used for entertaining.

glossy finish. No obvious chips, cracks or crazing. As a hand-painted piece,
minor variations in brushwork and glaze are inherent to its manufacture.
The underside retains its clear original Pier 1 backstamp
identifying the piece as:
Hand-Painted Earthenware Exclusively for Pier 1 — Alexandria
This is a particularly fun serving piece for appetizers,
hors d'oeuvres, fruit, desserts or a colorful table centerpiece—and an
excellent replacement or addition for anyone already collecting the
discontinued Alexandria pattern.
