About this site
- Name: vintagewoodenplatter.com (https://vintagewoodenplatter.com/)
- Topic: vintage and modern wooden platters and serving trays: identification clues, materials, sizes, food contact and care.
- Authors: Vintage Wooden Platter Editors. The Vintage Wooden Platter editors research older wooden servingware and modern wooden trays: maker marks, construction, finishes, sizes and care. We are not appraisers or wood scientists, and we have not lab-tested the products we mention. Every guide is built from maker documents, museum and collector references and the details sellers publish, and it says plainly what cannot be verified.
- Pages: 50 guides in six topic sections. Full list: HTML sitemap, sitemap.xml, llms.txt.
- Last updated: November 14, 2026
How the information is sourced
- Older pieces: maker marks and descriptions from dealer, auction and museum references, presented as clues, not proof.
- Food contact and lead: FDA, EPA and university extension guidance.
- Modern products: titles, images, prices and availability from Amazon's Creators API, refreshed every hour, with the retrieval date and time shown next to each price. Products Amazon reports as unavailable are not shown. We do not test products.
- Where a fact could not be verified, the page says so.
Conventions
- Featured images are illustrations of the type of item discussed, not photographs of specific pieces or products.
- Product prices and images come from Amazon's Creators API and are dated; no valuations of older pieces, star ratings or review counts.
- "Usable area" means the flat inner base: length x width, or pi x (diameter / 2) squared for round bases.
- No wood species or unknown finish is described as universally food safe.
