On offer is an antique mid-century metal printing plate featuring the title Filling the Plate, produced between the 1930s and 1950s. The plate includes reversed text and illustrations typical of printing blocks from this era, with two full cooking recipes: Vegetable Pie with Cheese and Oatmeal Crust and Baked Carrot Dish. Designed for publication in a cookbook, magazine or food column, it reflects the typography and domestic imagery of early 20th-century household cookery.

Mounted on a solid wood block approximately 1 inch thick, the plate measures around 11 x 4 inches. It retains excellent vintage character with expected age-related wear that enhances its authenticity. A flipped image is included for readability, showing the original printed layout as intended.

A distinctive example of mid-century printing history, it offers strong appeal to collectors of vintage ephemera, food historians and enthusiasts of early kitchen culture.
