Does anybody know what this is called or the time period that it is from?

It is 10 and a half inches wide and is 5 inches from bottom of plate to tip of handle. I was thinking parrot print from the Depression era but I've never seen anything this color I

 

A "tidbit" plate or tray - useful for serving those tiny crust-removed sandwiches, cookies or small cakes - just about anything small.

Very striking color combo!

 

I believe that form is called a "sandwich plate", but that's all I can contribute, except that I absolutely love it! The parrots are so frilly, and that orange... wow!

 

Just now seeing your post, Abuelita. Great minds...
I have to learn how to type faster!

 

Great tidbit plate for Halloween. Love the colors.

 

It's called a Center Handled Server. Used as suggested above.
1930s-40s
Look at Lancaster and Westmoreland for possible makers.

 

? is that silver resist around the rim

It is silver around the rim. And so is the print. But no makers mark.

 

IDK.

 

I was looking for a makers mark. Did westmoreland make glass in the depression era?

 

I love it too

 

Yes

 

I doubt it is marked. One of the main clues to determining who made a Center Handled Server is the handle shape, and how it attaches to the plate. The Chatabout site, that was linked to, uses the keyword CHS. You can use that search term to find all the examples of CHS and then compare your handle and plate shape to figure out who make it. The silver decor may or may not have been done by the manufacturer

 

Yes and well before the depression.
I believe they were called the Westmoreland Specialty company

 

Silver deposit.
