Oval Plates

Is there a special name for oval plates, I'm sure I have seen them called something other than "oval plate", but I can't think what it might have been. Of course I might also just be imagining things...

According to Wikipedia ,quote
The word ashet can refer to:
A large, shallow, oval dish used for serving food; A term used in Scotland taken from French for plate, 'assiette'.

I believe it was also common in the South Island of NZ at least for the larger versions often used to carve a joint or Chicken from.

The smaller ovals were mainly used for entree dishes or smaller lunch servings but personally don't recall them being common till the 1950's.

Ashet! that's the word! The only word I could think of was trencher and I knew that wasn't it. I've seen them listed on Trade Me as such, but of course couldn't do a search for them cause I couldn't remember the jolly name! Thanks so much :-)
