Williams Sonoma Dinnerware Appraisal

Williams Sonoma Manosque Cream Chop Plate

This is a large circular chop plate (also known as a round platter) from the Williams Sonoma 'Manosque' collection. The plate is crafted from high-fired stoneware or durable earthenware, finished in a warm, creamy off-white glaze with a glossy sheen. Its defining physical characteristic is the elegant, scalloped or lobed decorative rim featuring raised molded details that suggest a French Country or Provencal aesthetic. The edge is finished with a subtle fillet or relief line that follows the undulating silhouette. While the exact dimensions aren't visible, typical chop plates of this series measure approximately 12 to 13 inches in diameter. The construction appears sturdy with a significant thickness, indicative of high-quality tabletop serveware. Based on the uniform luster of the glaze and the lack of visible utensil marks, chips, or crazing in the provided image, the condition appears excellent to near-mint. This style was popularized in the late 20th to early 21st century as part of Williams Sonoma’s signature casual dining lines produced in Europe, likely Portugal or Italy. The craftsmanship is evident in the smooth transition of the molded decorative elements and the depth of the cream glaze.
