Lot: 138  Description: AT&SF BLEEDING BLUE FISH PLATTER - 25 1/2" x 11 1/8" large oval platter hallmarked on reverse M China L, Albert Pick & Co. This amazing and possibly one of a kind offering is from Warren Scholl's estate. Platter is in very good condition showing scratches in center but still strong glaze and small hard to see flake chip on top edge. This impressive piece I would suggest, would most likely had to have been used in the business car as the size would warrant placing on a much larger table than one found in a dining car. I have described this as a fish platter due to the design, but it certainly could have held a dinner masterpiece of any kind. A beautiful relic from the long-gone dining car era that will definitely command its own shelf in the new caretaker’s display.
