I have a lot of tin glaze pottery and this platter doesn't look or feel like those to me, though the tin glaze pieces I have are more rustic than this. The tin glaze pieces I have are much lighter and show different (softer) definition on the inner rims and edges, and also when they chip they show a thicker layer of glaze.
