Vintage Bauer Pottery Los Angeles Monterey Ringware Red Orange 12-1/2" Platter / Chop Plate produced from 1936 until 1945. Most books list this as a 12-1/2" Chop Plate but it measures 12-5/8" across. It weighs slightly over 3 lbs. 

This item is in great used vintage condition with no cracks, chips, or crazing. There are a few glaze pin pops and some uneven glazing but that is pretty standard for colored stoneware from the 39's through 40's. This item is from a smoke free home. Each item I list is inspected thoroughly so that the descriptions and pictures provided are as accurate as I can get. Photos are part of the description so ask any questions before bidding or purchasing. I am not an expert on everything I sale so forgive me if I occasionally misname or misidentify an item or feature. If you ever need more detail or pictures, let me know. I ship USPS Monday through Friday before noon and normally will give the buyer at least 2 shipment options. All breakable items are double bubble wrapped and double boxed when needed to assure safe arrival. I often will re-enforce the corners of the boxes to prevent crushing. I do not charge extra for shipping or handling, just the shipping charge showing for the size and weight of item for sale. Sometimes you will pay more for the shipping because of the additional size or weight that careful packaging can add. I recycle my shipping material so you may see a mixture of shipping boxes, peanuts, discs, bubble wrap, air pillows, craft paper, newspaper, tissue paper etc. I will ship internationally through eBay International Shipping and do offer local pickup if you live in the Phoenix Metro area. I do not take packages to the post office on Saturday or Sunday so items paid for on Friday after 6AM will not make the Friday drop off but be taken to the post office Monday morning.
