The oval shape fits a whole roasted chicken with room for the potatoes around it, which I didn't expect. The bird illustrations are charming without looking kitschy on the table.

Bought this for serving the Christmas turkey and it fit beautifully with room for the roast potatoes around the edges. The oval shape actually makes carving easier than a round plate, and the illustrations got compliments all through dinner.

The oval shape gives it so much more room than a round platter, so I finally fit a whole roast chicken and all the trimmings without everything sliding off. The bird illustration on the rim is subtle and elegant, and it's held up perfectly through the dishwasher too.
