I was purchasing this platter to replace an aged family heirloom platter that finally broke.  
The only quibble I have with this one is a small one:  My new platter was well-packed for shipping... BUT there was not any plain, un-padded pasteboard box to store it in, between uses.  Our heirloom platter had one and we became used to that-- the new platter has to sit like any old plate, gathering dust until we dig it out for Thanksgiving and/or Easter or Christmas feast time.  Had we known, we could have saved the heirloom platter's "dust jacket" box, but alas we did not know our new Red Vanilla platter would not have its own...  :-{
(you might consider this when it comes time to re-do the packaging)
