A 12 inch Rimmed Platter courtesy of fi

Thank you so much for sharing with us fi as you have so many interesting pieces!
Fi says that this platter measures exactly 12 inches -



This photo shows it alongside the other sizes - 12", 10", 9", 8" and the 6".



I haven't been able to find this shape in the Crown Lynn records yet, but I haven't had much time to look.

I have found a possible shape number in the records -
8035 Rimmed Chop Plate first made in 1977 on the Ram Press.
I did a search on Google for chop plate+Crown Lynn and the results were the 12 inch
platters in various patterns. I'm wondering if a chop plate is an American term as I came across it once before on advertising material for Earthstone and I deduced that it was the 12 inch platter.
There is at least one other reference to 'Chop Plate' that I can see -
8049 Chop Plate was "4039" and the 4039 was the 12 1/2" (12 3/8") Forma Round Plate.

Any thoughts? Anyone disagree?

Ev..I think that the chop plate = large platter as I saw the shape number of your forma platter on the description for another "chop plate, shape" - (If that makes sense) ... It could be under classic chop plate?? - I will re-look at that soon..

Yes Janice, that is the 8800 - "Classic" Chop Plate 12" first made 1980
I'm not sure what shape this refers to but there is also a Classique chop plate 8045 first made in 1982.
The 8035 says Rimmed as do all of the other sizes in the rimmed plate numbers.

Ummm.. I need to look at that.. I am on a "cup " adventure ATM LOL

Fi mentioned that she saw one of these large platters in the Sundowner pattern recently and I just found Sundowner shapes in my notes from 1981 price lists
8035 - Serving Platter I'm happy now and can get on with my other life
