Charter Club Grand Buffet Classic Platinum Fine China Piece

This item is a piece of fine porcelain dinnerware from the Charter Club 'Grand Buffet' collection, specifically the 'Classic Platinum' pattern. The image displays the underside of a vessel, likely a bowl or cup, featuring a prominent circular foot ring. The piece is constructed from high-quality white porcelain with a smooth, glazed finish that exhibits a soft luster under direct light. The manufacturer's backstamp is clearly centered in a grey or platinum-colored font, reading 'CHARTER CLUB® GRAND BUFFET CLASSIC | PLATINUM'. The design belongs to a contemporary formal style, characterized by its minimalist aesthetic and the intended inclusion of platinum metallic trim (though the trim itself is on the obscured obverse side). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing within the glazed surface. The foot ring shows minimal shelf wear, suggesting the item has seen light use. This collection was primarily distributed through Macy's department stores and represents a standard of mid-to-high level modern tableware production. The craftsmanship is consistent with late 20th to early 21st-century mass-manufactured fine china, prioritizing uniformity and durability while maintaining an elegant, formal appearance suitable for holiday or special occasion dining.
