Universal Potteries Ballerina Jade Green Medium Chop Plate

This is a vintage Universal Potteries Ballerina Jade Green Medium Chop Plate. This serving plate was produced by Universal Potteries in Cambridge, Ohio, from 1934 to 1954. It is part of the Ballerina dinnerware line and is shaped like a large dinner plate but is typically used as a serving platter. The plate has a round shape with handles for easy serving. The plates are known for their "Permacel glazing," which was fade-proof, making them durable and dishwasher-safe. The chop plates are often used as round platters for serving food. This particular piece is also referred to as a cake plate or serving platter with handles. The Ballerina line came in various solid colors, with the jade green color being considered hard to find.
