Please be sure to have your post up before linking in. Thanks so much. Sorry, I really don't like complicated rules for these memes, so I have tried to simplify this down to the minimum. Don't be shy, we have fun every week. Join us if you can.
This week, I want to show you a few of my smaller vintage platters. These are really smaller than my normally large platters I collect. I hope you enjoy looking at these today.
This one is in the USA and is stamped Upico Ivory on the back side. This measures 9 in. wide and is about 3/4 in. deep. I love the orange rim and the floral design in the middle.
I really like the design on this little plate. I know it is not a platter, but it is one of my favorite. I picked this up at a tag sale for 5 cents. This is a Homer Laughlin plate, measures 6" X 6" and has the same orange rim as the smaller platter above.
Here is a close up of the design in the middle of the plate. Very hacienda looking.
This platter is marked STERLING VITRIFIED CHINA D-5, East Liverpool, Ohio. It has a burgundy rim that looks like leaves. I really like the look of this platter. I purchased this at an antique store in Walnut Springs, Texas for $2.00. I think that was a great find.I hope you enjoyed looking at a few of the plates and platters in my collection. Have a great week everyone and happy treasure hunting.
I love your vintage platters - just right for family dinners!
ReplyDeleteSorry me again, is it just me or is there no Mr Linky appearing?
ReplyDeleteLove the red bordered one! You must do a lot of serving to have all these platters!
ReplyDeleteStill no Mr. Linky. You're probably at work now.
Those are such great plates! I love the storybook feel about them. I'm not seeing Mr. Linky either. Mine is ready at http://www.3sidesofcrazy.com/2009/01/vtt-oak-phone.html
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your plates. The middle one is just so unique. You could plan a nacho dinner around that one plate!
ReplyDeleteI posted, but no Mr. Linky :(

Hi. I noticed that the linkys were missing from other memes too. I clicked on Mr. Linky's blog and it said that site had been suspended. Wonder what's up?

Yes lovely platters on show today, I must say I am very fond of the last one with the red leaf trim!! Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteI'll be back for Mr. Linky also but I just had to chime in; I love the red bordered one also.
ReplyDelete$2.00 ; heh. funny. One of the wonderful things about vintage is that we can sometimes find them inexpensive and yet, it's something that you can't find anywhere else.
I'm in the mood to go antiquing now...
The dark red border is my favourite, too!
ReplyDeleteI'm participating with some handicraft books here: http://kotkarankki.blogspot.com/2009/01/vintage-thingies-13-old-handicraft.html
I hope the link system will be back!
Your platters are pretty. I'm sure you use them often. Like the others, I'll come back to link in.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne...nice to meet you! Love the old plates...especially the Homer Laughlin one.
ReplyDeleteSorry everyone...Mr. Linky had a problem with the hosting site for them and it took a while to resolve....Thank goodness it was not MY mistake...LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely Platters! I love all things red and white.
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the red leaves border but the other one would be appropriate if I ever do move to Arizona.
ReplyDeleteOh and I had to refresh the page to get Mr. Linky to show up, but he did.
Suzanne, love the platters! In looking at your previous VTT posts, I had to LOL at the one telling about your mom with the red hair - my mom (Agnes) did also!!!
ReplyDeleteI miss Mr. Linky, also - don't know who else is involved except for the ones who leave messages.
You have some sweet platters here. I can't get over the bargain prices you got them for.
ReplyDeleteKathy b
All fabulous! It's always so much fun to see the many different patterns and colors that vintage platters can be found in!
ReplyDeleteAs always--I enjoyed!
Blessings to You!

Now that you have shown them the neat platters you have, you should show them how you have them displayed.
