Say that ten times fast!!
One of my favorite treasures to search for.
Pretty Platters!
Over the years I have collected quite a few that I use
to display, decorate with and serve food on.
Some are cherished gifts and others are great finds.
Here are a just a few vintage and new to share with you today~

found at another sale years before.
They were a perfect match to layer

along with soup, for a large group.
This one is gorgeous with the creamy border design.
No markings on this one, but I know it is old.
Love this cherry blossom design by,

So many pretty platters. I have to say I only have one and it is white, but it was a housewarming gift from My Mother when we moved into our first house.
These are all gorgeous and just what I would expect to find in your home, lol. I do love using platters, but not as many or as pretty as yours. ~Diane
Your platters are all beautiful. I do have red and blue transferware platters. I hang some on the wall and the others get used for serving.
Celestina,
Your platters are so pretty, and the one that belonged to your Grandmother is a treasure. I think my favorite of all is the cherry blossom. The pink flowers against the white is so lovely.
Have a great week.
Love,

So many pretties. Beautiful dishes are my weak spot. The green and white piece I believe is my favorite. Thank you for a lovely presentation.

Every platter is so gorgeous Celeste. Also a lot of memories.
I have seen a couple of these designs before. The cherry blossom is my favorite piece.
Thank you for sharing such treasures.

These are all gorgeous. It would be difficult for me to choose a favorite. Lovely photos.
What a beautiful collection of platters!
I never find anything that lovely at yard sales. Lucky you!
I love China...especially with Roses and Platters are so much fun! I love all of yours, especially your grandmothers' platter. It's exquisite!
Hugs,

You've got some pretty platters, Celeste! I have one similar to yours with the tureen. It wouldn't fit with its tureen above my kitchen cabinets so I have it in a cabinet with other platters. I love seeing platters added to wall displays with other dishes.
You sure do have a plethora of pretty platters, Celestina!:) I love that not only can you use them for display, but also to serve with. I kept thinking to myself "this is my favorite one!", then you would show us another pretty one and that would become my favorite! But I have to agree with you, my absolute favorite is the one your grandmother gave you, what a treasure!
You have a lovely collection of platters! Nice that you use them for serving and decorating.
Dear Celeste,they are all beautiful, I have a platter just like your last pic, I love the raised details just so pretty ;-)
Hugs~

Wonderful Platters! Homer Laughlin is to die for! Love all of his.
Florals are my fav too. I have a few that were my Moms. A couple have the gold trim too. 23K, different huh? Unique ♥
Have a great day!

Very beautiful.
Celestina,
They are all beautiful. My favorites are the pieces with no color and raised images. They remind me of the fine dinner sets my grandmother kept in her China cabinet.
Dear Celestina Marie,
You have so many beautiful platters - love them all. I have a few which I love and they are so handy.
Happy week, dear friend and many thanks for visiting me.
hugs

I adore all of your platters. I don't actually collect them for the space issue...or I would have many! Creative Collecting Pitter Patter Pretty Platters...
Hi Celeste and what lovely lovey dishes. Most of us in Blogland love our dishes, don't we? :)
Hope your week is going well.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your platters are so beautiful!! I have a couple of platters...my favorite one is a Martha Stewart that I found at a thrift store. It is white with pink flowers and has a matching water pitcher.

Oh, how beautiful.
Oh yes, I also have a "thing" for vintage platters. I don't know how many I have, but more than I need. All of yours are so delicate and feminine looking. I love the soft floral patterns, and I can see how they inspire you. If I didn't know better, I'd think that some of these were painted by your talented hand. laurie
I love Grandmas...What a treasure! Yes I love platters, I just wish I had room to store more. I have more silver ones because my Mom gave um to me, but I treasure my china ones!
Carol
What a gorgeous collection of platters you own! I think my favorite is the pretty floral platter that was your grandmothers. A lovely keepsake.
i love your g-mom's platter esp., celeste! you have such a great collection!
They are all so lovely! I especially like the one with the colorful flowers on it :) Happy weekend to you - hugs!
I have the same weakness for pretty platters. You have such a pretty collection. We have spring in Albuquerque. I hope you get a pretty day tomorrow!
