This Purinton 8" X 8 1/2" Apple Plate is considered a Snack Plate. I believe they were originally designed to have a Cup sit in the one compartment. I didn't find this functional so I just used them as a divided lunch plate and put salads in the little divided area. It worked better for me! I used all of my Puriton patterns- Apple, Normandy Plaid and Heather Plaid- together and they looked wonderful combined. Plates are in very good condition- no damage. Priced each at
