History: Oyster plates were made in three distinct styles. The first is the geometric - perfect circle of oyster molds with a space in the middle for sauce. The second is what they call the turkey. It has five molds (as opposed to six in the geometric) for the oysters that resemble the shape of a turkey. The third is the kidney-shaped plate, produced most often by Union Porcelain Works.
