If you really have a piece of bread that needs a platter this big - your not following the Atkins diet. Actually this makes a great server for fish, pasta, vegies, meat and other foods. It is so unique we don't really know what to call it - so we called it a bread platter (6 years ago) and it stuck. It is a popular shape. Make sure your kiln can handle it. measurements: 24" x 8"
