Ceramic Serving Trays for Every Occasion

Elegantly present a few decorative trinkets or a delicious plate of food on a ceramic serving tray. This traditional piece of kitchen decor makes a versatile choice for use in any room. Stock up on trays for multiple rooms of your home or purchase one as a heartfelt present for any loved one on your shopping list. A platter can make a gift on its own or enhanced by pairing it with items that go along with it, such as a set of fabric napkins or a set of placemats.

Using a White Ceramic Serving Tray

A white ceramic serving tray is ideal for delivering food and making it look its best. The clean white backdrop allows all the colors of the ingredients to shine and help food look appetizing. As an added benefit, white ceramic serving trays are easy to coordinate with nearly any set of dishware as an add-on piece. When you're looking for something decorative, select a white platter with a textural or shapely border around the edge.

Add a Pop of Color with a Decorative Serving Tray

When a serving tray is going to become part of a display, choosing one with an intricate design is a prime opportunity to reinforce a color scheme or the theme of a space. With so many different designs available to choose from at Williams Sonoma, it is easy to find one that coordinates with any style of decor. Display a traditional Japanese motif or keep it crisp with a fruit-inspired design. A floral pattern brings a timeless sophistication to any space.

Consider the design of your existing china or dinnerware when selecting a platter. Pick a piece that blends in with the existing theme or make a statement by choosing a tray showcasing a new stand-out color or statement-making pattern. If the tray you select is going to be used on a regular basis, choose one designed for ease of care. If it will become a decorative display piece only, that won't matter as much.

Place your new serving platter in the center of a table, angle it against a plate stand, or hang it on the wall as part of a collection. Browse the entire collection to discover the piece that will take center stage at your next dinner party or even become that heirloom piece that is cherished by future generations. Don't forget to look for coordinating pieces in the collection to tie the whole look together.
