A platter with presence—and excellent manners. This generously proportioned Broggi oval platter brings Italian elegance to the table, with a broad stepped rim, a beautiful silver sheen, and nearly two kilograms of satisfying substance.
A cross-in-shield emblem adds a little intrigue; its original association remains unidentified. Equally at home beneath a holiday roast or holding court on a beautifully styled console, this is a piece for people who believe presentation is half the pleasure.
