Know before you buy
This oval serving platter measures approximately 14.25 inches in length and 10.5 inches in width, providing ample space for appetizers, sides, or a main course.
Because this is a vintage ceramic piece from the 1970s featuring delicate gold trim, we recommend hand washing only. It is not suitable for microwave use, as the metallic accents can spark and the ceramic may be sensitive to rapid temperature changes.
This platter is in great vintage condition, but it is a pre-owned item from the 1970s. You may notice minor signs of wear, such as slight scuffs on the gold trim, which are consistent with its age and history.
The platter features a glossy black finish contrasted by elegant gold trim. It is crafted from durable ceramic, offering a sophisticated, high-contrast look that serves as a striking centerpiece for any table setting.
While it is durable enough for serving food, its vintage status and gold detailing make it a special-occasion piece. It functions beautifully as a functional serving platter for dinner parties or as a decorative display item for collectors of Fitz and Floyd.
