I remember this platter from my childhood. For years, it was a part of our kitchen. Mom always had hers displayed on the counter. It stood up against the 70s orange counter. It looked wonderful. I do not know whatever happened to hers. But I do know that she used it. It was brought out for company, especially in the summer if we cooked out. All of the toppings for burgers and hot dogs were put on this platter. I honestly do not remember when she got rid of it or why or even if Bill has it. But I remember it fondly.
Several years ago, I was able to find one on Ebay. I do not know what my life would be like without Ebay LOL Still, I got it for a very good price and absolutely love it. I have tried to find information on the maker but have had no luck so far. What I did find is other pieces that match this and yes, I am so excited about that. I have found square platters and rectangular platters. They all have this wonderful vegetable design on them. I may add them to my wish list.
Anyway, I think that my platter is beyond fabulous. I have used it several times but need to incorporate more into my weekly meals. I can do that. This is one of many things from my memories of childhood that I have tracked down online and purchased. I take comfort in these things. Do any of you have such things in your house right now? Things that you remembered and decided that you must have? I would love to know!
