Fiesta 9-5/8-Inch Oval Platter manufactured by The Homer Laughlin China Company. If you are going to have a party or just have a family to feed, you need a platter. The Scarlet platter looks good with other colors also, especially the Cobalt Blue. Measuring over 9 inches it is great for a large roast or ham or just a plate full of hamburgers. This is the smaller plater, there is a 13 5/8 oval platter also. This platter is often used underneath the sauceboat. Big enough to put a line of full size asparagus on it. Could be used for a small 2-3 people salad. It isn’t for a roast or ham or other meats you think of as needing a platter. The 9 5.8 platter is more like a platter shaped big plate. Can be used as a spoon rest or relish dish.
Oval platters were added to Homer Laughlin China dinnerware in the mid 1936 additions. The original model was 12 3/4 inch, then was changed in 1947 to 12 1/2 inches.
This platter comes with a 5 year, no chip guarantee. The complete dimensions are 9.6 x 7 by 1.2 inches high. All Fiesta pieces are Microwave safe, Oven-proof, Dishwasher safe, Freezer proof, Lead-Free, and Made in America. The small platter sells for around $16 and the larger platter around $24 as a comparison. If you are looking for a small platter, this one is great, just look at a measuring tape so you understand the size of the platter before ordering.
