A shallow rectangle with an open center
The authentic upper-front view shows a broad, uninterrupted center within a compact rectangular outline. The sides rise gently, and the corners lift away from the tabletop instead of forming a deep bowl. With no printed pattern or separate wells, the plate leaves the food as the visual focus and allows an arrangement to change from one course to another. Use the 5⅞ × 4-inch overall footprint when planning the place setting; those measurements do not describe the exact flat area inside the rim. The catalog does not state height or capacity, so neither a measured portion count nor a liquid volume is implied.
