Vintage Vernon Kilns Early California Chop Plate

Extremely rare, believed to be manufactured during the 1930s by Vernon Kilns Early California Pottery. This company later created Vernonware and partially changed its stamp. This large plate measures about 12.5" across and is known as a chop plate. As shown in pictures, this plate has been used throughout the years but there are no chips or cracks--just lots of scratches. This chop plate has a ring design that sets it apart from later versions. Color is orange but looks more red in photos.
