Q: This platter belonged to my wife's ancestors. Her grandmother said that it was brought over from England in the late 1700s or early 1800s. The mark on the back is Longport Stubbs & Kent. Can you tell me anything about the company?
A: Stubbs & Kent was a pottery located in Longport, Burslem, England c.1828-1830. A platter like yours sold at auction for $805 in 2008.
