Description: This is the 13 3/4" oval snack tray from Franciscan in their popular APPLE pattern. This divided plate with space for a cup measures 13 3/4" long and 8" at the widest. Franciscan made APPLE from 1940-1984 and the TV screen backstamp on this one shows it was made between 1958-1960. I am including a cup as well. The cup measures 2 3/4" tall ad 3 1/2" wide. Condition of tray is very good! This saw very little use over the decades and was well cared for. Colors are vivid. No cracks, chips, or repairs. No stains or utensil marks. Great shine to glaze. A nice piece for use or display. Cup is in good condition--not quite as shiny and bright. Seems like this was used but not abused. No cracks or chips or repairs. I have other APPLE pieces in inventory right now including a butter dish, oval relish dish, and the 3-tiered serving tray. Just ask if you want to bundle! Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE How I Assess Vintage Pieces Please note that my written descriptions are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. AND they are not AI-generated! I want the Buyer to know exactly what they are getting, so I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the photos and descriptions. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminished shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, no signs of past use and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item. Problems: In the event of a problem, please contact me asap. I want you to be happy with your purchase! Returns: Returns accepted within 30 days of purchase. Buyer pays return postage. No refund will be given if item arrives broken or damaged, so please pack returns very carefully. Feedback I leave feedback within a week after your item is received. If you are considering leaving neutral or negative feedback, please contact me first! I appreciate the chance to make things right. If you check out my feedback, you will see I do not often disappoint. Looking for Other Vintage Mid Century Modern Items? WAXWING MID MOD may be able to help! Let me know what you are after. At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their bodies, education, careers, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
