A Strange Shaped Plate


Isn't this a strange little plate? I have no idea what it was used for. I thought maybe a sandwich plate at a luncheon. I love the shape of it and the flowers are so tiny and delicate. If any of you have any ideas about it, I would love to hear them.

It sure is pretty. In my browsing around antique and thrift shops, I see quite a few plates in that shape. They are usually part of a full dinner set, where both dinner and bread & butter plates are the same shape, just large and small. But I have also seen individual plates for sandwiches or cakes in a square shape...it was probably a popular or fashionable shape at some stage.
