Decorated Vintage Fiesta Chop Plate
A recent blog visitor has shared with us these photos of a decorated vintage ivory Fiesta chop plate. We're guessing that it's the 15-inch chop plate without the double foot (based upon the relative size of the plate to the Fiesta backstamp). Over the Fiesta backstamp is a gold backstamp reading "Vogue Dinnerware Warranted 24K Gold." Is anyone familiar with this dinnerware line or decoration? If so, please let us know.
