This beautiful, huge, common plate, so termed because it would have carried food to the table and diners would help themselves. This one has only had very little use and bears no scars, possibly nothing more arduous than a bread plate and not a bread board. The plate is slightly bowed and narrower across the grain as it was perhaps not completely seasoned when made. It is a generous half inch thick and too heavy ever to be made as a tray even though I suspect that most of its life it was used thus. I have a real tray of this age and size, less than half the thickness and weight to compare it with. One thing it never has been is a table top. The dark lines in the wood run across the grain and are completely natural, even beautiful.
