765-8 Entree Plate

I would have thought that this plate would be 8 inches across ...
instead it is 8 + 3/8ths inches !
You will have to take my word for it that it really is a 765-8
as the camera wouldn't let me take a pic of the stamp .... and I tried everything!
This is a lemon colour glaze plate.

This entree shaped plate is sometimes called an ashet ...
not being familiar with that word I looked it up on dictionary.com and this is what it says :
"ASHET - a shallow oval dish or large plate"
Learn something every day

I have a few ashets kicking around, one in green bamboo I think and maybe a couple in plain colours (colourglaze maybe). I think there are different shapes (profiles etc) and minor variations in size. I can't find them just now. I'll have a scout around.
(Done that , cant see them. Found anothe cache of C&S tho)

I'm presuming that measurement is width not length.

What an interesting name, I'll use that one as I have a few.[img][/img]
Very confused about uploading the images though!

It lets you choose a file from your computer .... and then hosts it.
Good luck and hope to see your ashets ....

These are my examples of the Ashet style plates.. Part of my eclectic mix of dinnerware.
Of the eight I have, the Neptune pattern has the backstamp 765 8 /

The rest are slightly bigger in size so would they be 765 9 ( 9 referring to 9 inch) Or a completely different shape number? Still ploughing though my notes from the museum LOL
