The platter by Challinor, Taylor and Company is a large, irregularly shaped dish. It has a smooth, reflective surface that appears to be made of glass. The dish is predominantly clear with areas of dark and light gray swirling throughout. The shape is rounded but not perfectly symmetrical, with one side having a more pronounced curve than the other. There are no visible handles or decorative elements on the exterior. The base of the dish is flat. The interior features a raised rectangular design with an image that appears to be a landscape or scenery. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
