Original Coupe shape: 

Spring Blossom Green, Spice O' Life, Red Floral, Winter Holly.  Coupe saucer, dinner plate, luncheon plate, bread & butter plate.

Original Coupe shape, odd 7¼" size: 

Bottom plate 7¼", top plate 6¾", both are coupe.  An odd sized coupe bread & butter plate appeared early 1990s.  It was available in Winter Frost White and Provincial Blue, there may be others too.

Dimension IV, Narrow Rimmed:

Almond, Heather, Cinnamon, undecorated luncheon plate.

CornerStone shape:

Luncheon plates: Coastal Breeze, Beige undecorated CornerStone, and Belle Grove saucer.

Comparing CornerStone Bread & Butter Plate and Saucer:    

CornerStone bread & butter plates are unique, and strictly speaking they do not have a CornerStone shape.  The very narrow ½" rim flattens by only a small degree, and from the top side, it is barely noticeable.  There is no ridge mid-way down the rim either.  The saucers have a true CornerStone shape.

Comparing Narrow Rimmed and Standard Rimmed shapes:

Dinner plates: Narrow Rimmed, less than one inch wide;  Standard Rimmed, more than one inch wide.  (as seen from the back of the plate)

Beige/Sandstone Standard Rimmed:

Blossoms In Lace and Lace Bouquet bread & butter plates, Mirage saucer.  Like most patterns with a standard rimmed plate, Mirage comes with coupe saucers.

Sculptured, Swirled, Enhancements shape:

Bread & butter plates: Blue Velvet & Elegant Rose; Delicate Array luncheon plate; Chutney saucer.  The saucer is Sculptured, but unlike the plates it is not a rimmed style; it has the same proportions as coupe saucers.

Embossed, 3-Swirl, Windward White shape:

Bread & butter plates: Spring Breeze & Celestial Blue, Pastel Ballet soup plate, saucers: Celestial Blue & Windward White.  The cups for Embossed patterns like this have no swirls at all, they are completely smooth.

Standard Rimmed shape with Extra-Wide Rim Saucers: 

Summer Citrus is one example of a Standard Rimmed plate style (not in Lifestyles or Ultra) that comes with Extra-Wide Rim saucers and short wide cups.  These saucers are also called bread & butter plates in Lifestyles and Ultra sets including mugs, but they are 6¼", like typical saucers are.

Short & Wide Cups with Extra-Wide Rim Saucers:

Tuscan Vine.  The stoneware cups made to fit these unusual saucers are short and very wide with a straight-sided shape.  The bottom of the cup is about three inches across.

Extra-Wide Rim, Lifestyles shape: 

Muse and Saffi luncheon plates, both are from the Lifestyles line with the traditional Corelle thickness.  Although the dinner plates in this line are larger than usual, the luncheon plates are 8½", smaller than the standard rimmed style.

Contours shape: 

Back of Contours luncheon plate.  The flat rim is perfectly level.  Aside from that, the plate is comparable to a very shallow coupe-shaped bowl.
