Hello! Could you please help me identify the year of production and what this is used for? Is it a Plate, Platter or Tureen?

Thank you very much.

As far as what the piece is, some dimensions will probably be necessary to answer that question.

Thank You so very much but may I confirm that chart declares this was made around 1894?

the piece is around 15" long and about an inch and a half deep. Please excuse my approximations, I have a makeshift measuring device at the moment.

I'd say 1893 and guess that you have a platter. Maybe someone else can give a better qualified answer. It's a great looking piece though.

I'd say the pattern was made in 1893 and the piece was made between then and 1902.

Thanks Salmoned. I had a feeling there was more to the story than I was putting together. It's pretty simple once the obvious is highlighted.
