Metlox 12” Poppytrail California Provincial Rooster Platter

Bring a vibrant burst of mid-century Americana into your kitchen with this pristine 12-inch round chop plate serving platter. Crafted by the iconic Metlox Potteries in Manhattan Beach, California, this legendary pattern features a proud, hand-painted folk-art rooster strutting across a distinct, oatmeal-flecked cream glaze. Decorated in a retro colorway of forest green, deep crimson, and rich mustard yellow, this heavy-duty vintage stoneware piece effortlessly anchors a retro dining collection or a warm country kitchen display. This highly collectible serving platter boasts beautiful West Coast craftsmanship, featuring the authentic factory-fired "MADE IN CALIFORNIA" backstamp on the reverse. Metlox pieces from this era were built to be exceptionally durable "oven-to-table" wares, and because each piece was painted by hand before firing, the brushstrokes on this specific rooster are entirely unique. Chop plates of this scale are notoriously difficult to track down for set completers, making this beautiful specimen a prized replacement asset or a standout conversation piece for your open shelving.
