Not sure.  CPC possibly is Japan... The first word looks a little like "Germany"

Maybe my old eyes are playing tricks, but I see: "semi vitreous porcelain". You will have to check to see if any of the old companies might match up with C_____Pottery Company (CPC).

Not all platters are footed !!  That stained crazing hurts this platter but they are not expensive !!

Exactly Rauville!!!  semi vitreous porcelain!!!!

You can try and get rid of the staining in the crazing with a baking soda paste.

Why do platters have to have feet?  (sounds like a punch line is coming up!)
