Well I just compared one of those 5-6 inch dishes which I never use (they must have a function, but I can't imagine what it is (I think you are supposed to put your rolls on them come to think of it)) with the 11 inchers. The glaze seems identical to my eyes. Maybe it is a bionic glaze.
Heh Heh. I would bet you anything that if my mother was alive, she could find a difference.
Are they bread plates or salad plates? The salads are larger. Luncheon plates are just slightly smaller than dinner plates which are slightly smaller than the European dinner plates I think, they are really big. I wish I had the oversized plates but never even thought about them when I got china and none of the stuff I got from relatives has the big plates.
