Victorian eraesque bone dishes are now commonly referred to as "crescent moon plates".
 
These beautiful moon shaped dishes were once used for discarded bones during a meal: ie: chicken, fish etc.  Now they are wonderful accessories for crystals, jewelry, discarded matches after lighting candles, or even a ‘catch all’ dish for keys and change.
 
They measure 9.5” x 4.25”, all signed oyg 1962, and we have a few different patterns, all flowers, so be sure to check them out!
