This round platter is so pretty that you may want to display when you are not using it.  PLEASE note:  The color is more muted than what is showing in the picture.  Several cheeses in cheesy colors ornate the center.  The center motif is raised with various levels.  If you love cheese then this is your dream platter.  A wheel of Camembert with product of France, a wedge of cheese with port des the cheese of,Cheddar, Swiss cheese wedge and what looks like it could be Roquefort of Blue cheese.  Plus breadsticks of course in the background. 

This could be called a chop platter, I would use it for appetizers.  This perfect platter is heavily glazed and has a very fine light splatter over the entire platter. Raised banded rim is trimmed in a muted orange.

Condition is excellent.  NO chips, cracks or any sign of wear.Back reads Los Angles Potteries, USA 505.  This could have been a factory error.  Because the spelling of Angeles isn't correct.  Platter measures approx 14 1/2 inch across and 1 1/2 inch high.  With this coloring should date from the late 1950's to the 1960's.  Since this was an estate sale find, I do not know the true date.

About:  Los Angeles Potteries was located in Lynwood, California.  Before 1941 until after 1967.  This pottery was listed in various directories as makers of artware and dinnerware at 11700 Alameda in Lynwood, California.  They were not listed in 1971, in 1941, a bowl marked "Los Angeles Potteries" was patented and assigned.  The pieces and marks were drawn from very nicely vitrified hand molded, high gloss glaze shaped pieces.  This could explain how the artist made a mistake in the spelling.  From Lehner's Encyclopedia of U.S. Marks on Pottery, Porcelain, and Clay by Lois Lehner page 269.
