Description:  Diamond Shape Serving Dishes are all about the same size:  8 1/8"-8 5/8" wide x 10" long. They all have slightly scalloped top rims and bottom rims. They are not decorated on the undersides and the bottoms are glazed. Small variations between the two pictured are: the left example's bottom rim is scalloped and dish is not as wide as its companion.  The dish on the right's bottom rim is diamond shape with no scalloped edges and the entire dish has the orange peel affect. These dishes are scarce but are not too hard to find.
