Rare vintage oval-shaped serving platter made by Metlox Potteries of California in the 1980s. The pattern is called "Lotus" by Poppytrail and features various pieces shaped like lotus flowers and leaves. This piece is a banana leaf with a beautiful majolica look and ruffled edges. It measures 16 1/4" long, 8" wide and 1 1/2" tall. It has the 3 pin marks on the bottom characteristic of this type of pottery and an incised mark on the bottom, "Metlox Made in USA." Best of all, it's in outstanding condition with no chips, cracks or even utensil scratches...it does not appear to have been used. I have the matching plates and mugs for this set under separate listings. This pattern and color would be fantastic for summer entertaining!
