Both the thirteen and fifteen inch Vintage Fiesta chop plates were part of the original release in mid-1936. The design remained consistent with all of the Vintage Fiesta plates, decorated with bands of concentric rings radiating out from the center. These large round platters were meant to serve up steaks and chops—thus the name. Chop plates were made upside down on a jiggering machine. The bands of concentric rings were tooled in as the plates spun around. Each plate was fully glazed and put on sagger marks in the kiln for firing, thus the three stilt marks on the back of all plates. These little chips out of the glaze are mostly unavoidable and simply part of the pottery making methods. Most Fiesta pottery versions will be glaze stamped on the bottom "GENUINE fiesta HLCo USA." Some examples, perhaps early variations, will not be marked
