Circa 1951-1959: The 50s vintage gray glaze is a master or disguise, shifting in the light going warm or going cool, it is the chameleon of fiesta pottery. This Vintage Fiesta chop plate in original 50s gray glaze is in excellent condition. Without chips or cracks or repairs and little to no sign of use. Ink stamped on the back. The chop plates were some of the largest pieces in the vintage line. Too large to be put on the automatic jiggering machines they had to be tooled by hand, made upside down, like all fiesta plates, the clay being pressed into a mold and the back rings formed on the jiggering machine. Measures 12 3/8" x 1 1/8".
