Haven't you noticed that standard dinner plates are not big enough when you're barbecuing for guests in the yard, having friends over for a buffet, or just home alone eating dinner in bed in front of the television, and in any event, don't want to juggle a lot of extra pieces (i.e., salad plate, bread plate, etc., etc.)? Well, this plate is the ideal solution. Holds everything, and makes a stunning presentation. And of course works as a great serving piece when dining conventionally at the dinner table.

I have this plate in colbalt blue. I use it for serving meat such as fried chichen or as a dessert plate for cookies or a veggie tray. Food looks exciting against the glossy cobalt color. I keep it on display all the time in my white kitchen. It is a good choice for everyday use.

My husband and I fight over this plate when we have frozen pizza. A Tombstone pizza fits great on this plate!

I have about 20 chop plates. I have most of the colors. I use them for barbeque dinners and for Italian meals. They will hold the whole meal on one plate (southern style). They have enough space to keep messy foods separated with no need for separate side plates. The standard dinner plates are too small. Stacked on open shelves with my other Fiestaware pieces they give a burst of color to my neutral kitchen. I started with my mother-in-law's collection that was passed down to me. The older plates are larger than the current style. With mixed colors you can set the table to any color theme. Warning! No one likes the pink one. It's "the tongue plate." The last person to the table gets that plate and it's not unusual to see it sneakily moved from place to place after the table is set. Kids love to switch it around. These plates are fun. Amazon has the best price on single plates.

I love this plate, and it's good for serving something like roast chicken, but it's too big for everyday use, so it sits in my cupboard the rest of the time. Just know that this plate is BIG! If you do a lot of serving, it's probably good for you, but I only bring it out at Thanksgiving, holidays, and large dinners with friends.

This is a nice plate for serving sliced vegetables or fruit. Fried chicken as another reviewer noted. Look for the Fiestaware OVAL platter which is multi-use and holds a roast, whole chicken or small turkey. And whole fish like trout or a small salmon. This is better suited for a melody of fruits and vegetables. Own it in pastels.

This is a very versatile piece. It really brightens up the table. A must for fiesta Post86 collections. I have extras that I use as chargers underneath other colored plates.

Just received my Cobalt Tones chop plate. It's beautiful. I plan to use it as a serving platter more than a plate. I saw this listed on Amazon last fall and put off ordering it. When I decided it was a "must have", it was out of stock. I tried other sites and couldn't find Cobalt tones anywhere. I contacted the company to find a retailer and was told that it was exclusive to Amazon! However, I have seen this pattern or something very close at Tamarak outside Beckley, WV. (It is a West Virginia sponsored open mall featuring crafts and products made in WV, which Fiesta is.) I was thrilled when it was back in stock. It will give my Fiesta table an even more creative look.

I love this plate!! I am actually waitng for the other 10 that I recently ordered. My husband loves them becasue they are heavy duty and have a large eating space. Love the fact that they don't chip, and the paint does not wear off. Everyone that eats over my house comments on my dinnerware (all Fiesta).

This plate isn't quite as big as I expected, but I love it! It is gorgeous and works well as a serving plate - I have used it for serving garlic bread and quesadillas (size is perfect for the big tortillas I usually buy) so far.

I have the sunflower color and it is beautiful. I look forward to purchasing more Fiestaware!
