The plate with handle is called a tidbit tray. It is a Desert Sun dinner plate with a handle that was attached by Red Wing Potteries staff. Tidbit trays were not shown in brochures for dinnerware patterns. But they were pictured in Gift & Novelty brochures. Various sizes of plates and bowls were pieced together into 1, 2, 3 and even 4 tiered tidbit trays. The plates and bowls used were usually surplus or from discontinued patterns. The Desert Sun patten was introduced in 1962. In excellent condition this tidbit tray is worth $10 to $20.
