A platter is a large type of dishware used for serving food. It is a tray on which food is displayed and served to people. It can have oval, round, rectangular, or square shape. It can be made of steel, ceramic, or plastic. 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. Especially expensive and ceremonial platters have been made of gold.
