A platter is a large type of dishware used for serving food.
Its shape can be oval, round, octagonal, rectangular, or square.
It can be made of metal, ceramic, plastic, glass or wood.
Plain and ornate platters suitable for more formal settings or occasions are made of, or plated with, silver, and antique examples are considered quite valuable.
