Quick Answer
To display a large hand painted platter, choose a spot that suits its size and color, then mount it securely on a wall or prop it on a stand for table decor. For the Gordon Hull platter, its hand-painted finish and large size make it a natural focal point.
Why Display a Hand Painted Platter?
A hand painted platter is more than a serving piece—it's a work of art. The Gordon Hull Hand Painted Large Platter, for example, features a unique hand-painted finish that adds an artisanal touch to any dining occasion. Displaying it lets you enjoy that artistry every day, whether as wall art or as a centerpiece on a table.
However, displaying a platter comes with trade-offs. Wall mounting requires hardware and careful placement, while table display risks accidental bumps or dust buildup. Understanding these trade-offs helps you choose the method that fits your space and lifestyle.
Steps to Display Your Platter
- Choose the Right Location: Select a spot that complements the platter's size and color. For wall art, pick a wall with enough empty space—at least a few inches around the platter. For table decor, choose a stable surface like a sideboard or mantel where it won't be in the way. Check that the wall or surface can support the platter's weight and that it's away from high-traffic areas to avoid accidents.
- Select a Mounting Method: For wall display, use a plate hanger or a wire loop designed for heavy ceramics. Attach the hanger to the platter's back rim, not the center, to distribute weight evenly. For table display, use a plate stand or easel that cradles the platter securely. Test the hanger or stand before committing—shake it gently to ensure the platter doesn't wobble.
- Position at Eye Level: When hanging on a wall, place the center of the platter at eye level (about 57-60 inches from the floor). For table display, position it at a height that's visible but not obstructed by other items. Step back and view the platter from different angles to confirm it's straight and well-proportioned in the space.
- Style Around the Platter: Add complementary decor—such as smaller ceramics, greenery, or a simple frame—to create a vignette. Avoid overcrowding, as the platter should remain the focal point. For table decor, pair it with neutral linens or placemats to let the hand-painted design shine. Keep the surrounding items low or minimal so they don't compete with the platter's visual impact.
- Maintain and Protect: Dust the platter regularly with a soft, dry cloth. If it's on a table, consider using a felt pad under the stand to prevent scratches. For wall-mounted platters, periodically check the hardware for tightness. Avoid using water or cleaning chemicals on the hand-painted surface unless you know the glaze is safe—when in doubt, dry dust only.
