Circa 1938-1948: Large Version— The larger of the two sizes, the 13" Riviera platter demands much more presence than its 11" counterparts. This example in the Harlequin blue glaze is in excellent condition. Formed in the ram press and then fired once, hand dipped in thick glaze and placed on stilts in the kiln for a second firing, a great amount of hand work separates yesterday's vintage American made dinnerware from today's automated imported wares. Collectors will appreciate this platters great size, shine and damage free surface, both front and back. Measures over 13" at 13 1/4" long.
