The spaces around the rim and even in the body of the platter can be used in so many different ways that people often collect them. Some families have a cherished one that is used every year during the holidays, and others have simple versions that work great to tote barbecue food outdoors.
If you want to make family member feel particularly important, you might choose to have his or her name and favorite recipe title included on a platter. What a nice gift to give and to receive this would be. The owner might then use the special platter each time that dish is served.
It is possible to purchase ceramic platters that may be hand painted with any name you like. Some are painted with acrylic paints and must be hand washed to keep the names safe. But there are others which are painted with china paints, fired in a kiln, and then sent to the new owner. Ceramics that are fired will make a permanent personalization, which will not wash off, even in the dishwasher.
Some families decide to create family tree platters. It might be as simple as writing the names and birth dates of each family member, or as elaborate as including characters for each person. Many families choose to keep these as heirlooms, and display them in their dining rooms.
