I have 6 b&b (dessert?) plates in what appears to be the Poppytrail sculptured grape pattern, but the only examples I can find on Replacements and on Ebay look different. My plates are all ivory colored with shading in the sculptured parts that is light ecru. On what I've seen so far, the plates have sculptured rim decor of colored grapes with green leaves.
What do I have here, then? Weird. I googled and found nothing.

Hi all,
It's Antique Grape, Adele. You want another couple of dozen place settings? My kitchen china cabinet is pretty darn full. LOL!
Edited to add:
Bread & butter plates are 6 1/2", salad plates are 7 1/2".
Antique Grape was introduced in 1964. In 1980 it was 4th in order of popularity in the Metlox line, ahead of Sculptured Grape, which was 6th. (This from a Metlox sales bulletin dated 1/3/80.)

Thanks, you two! Love ya. And, Lucy, I appreciate the info about the 7.5" plate being a salad plate. You guys are great.
