I'm trying to sort out my website and divide between bowls and platters. I tend to think of a platter as a turned object whose diameter is about ten times the height, and a bowl with correspondingly smaller ratio, but is there a recognised definition?

Richard, Moving right along with unanswerables that we try to answer;
When does a coaster become a plate, a plate become a charger and a charger morph into a platter?
When does a beaker become a cup, a cup become a bowl and all things, great and small, rise to the level of a vessel?
When the maker _says it does_, and an observer agrees. We both await the wisdom of the ng's better answers. Arch
Fortiter,
Here, here! Pass me another beer. Dave in Fairfax
