Unsigned

An exceptionally large Town & Country piece in a color I don't often find: Forest Green. All serving pieces in this pattern—from platters, to bowls, and beyond­—are this same "Lima Bean" shape. The nodule on the end of the platters and bowls work in the same way as the raised lip of Town & Country plates to create a built in handle. It is an interesting, functional, useful, and not often copied design decision.

Found on May 25, 2005 in Saint Paul, MN.
