Platters are round flat things that you serve multiple portions of food from.
Crown Crystal Glass Company in Australia designed this EAPC 7-Part Divided Platter in Crystal and Rose-Lilac. While they copied Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut pattern, this piece itself is an original. Anchor Hocking never made a 7-Part EAPC Platter.
The Large Platter is one of the four items that launched Anchor Hocking’s Early American Prescut line in its Anchorglass 1960-61 Catalog.
The EAPC 5-Part Large Platter has a raised edge in the center that forms a circle, and four more raised lines radiate out to the edge of the platter dividing the plate into five distinct sections. This makes it great for displaying a variety of foods on the same platter while also keeping them separate.

The Rose-Lilac Crown Platter and Rose-Lilac 7-Part Divided Platter have repeatedly been reported by well-known vintage glass authors as made by Anchor Hocking, exclusively for Coles stores in Australia. This is not the case.
Anchor Hocking introduced the Small Platter in its 1964 catalog. It was intended to hold snacks for several people, not a meal for one despite Anchor Hocking calling it a plate. The term plate was often used in the 1960s to mean tray or platter.
The Small Swirl Platter is highly desired by Early American Prescut collectors. The swirl dividers perfectly align with the platter’s design making it a beautiful addition to EAPC collections.
