It took days before I happened to be at a computer to ask others this question (at a time I also remembered it needed asking), but within the first nine minutes of posting to Facebook I have two replies. I will try to remember to copy-paste them all here when the comments seem to have stopped, but in the meantime you can see them at the top of my wall http://www.facebook.com/reia.chmielowski until I get around to posting something else there. Hopefully something someone says will be useful for you.
Thanks! We're up to "fat", "tallrik", "Frukttallrik", "fruktfat", and trätallrik/träfat. Hopefully this will let me search some more museum databases.

Date: 2012-07-18 04:08 pm (UTC)Do you know, or can you find out, if there's a noun in Swedish for the little Elizabethan fruit-trenchers I've been researching? Many examples here, http://ppfuf.livejournal.com/tag/trenchers. There's an example of a Dutch trencher (also called a roundel in English) http://www.arcadja.com/auctions/en/brueghel_pieter_i/artist/87309/ and I think the same one here: http://www.christies.com/Lotfinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=3957137
One museum curator referred me to "tallrik" but that seems to be the word for the heavy wooden trencher plates, like the ones from the Mary Rose shipwreck and continued to the 19th century.
