Renowned ceramics maker Waechtersbach revives an early American family tradition with its heirloom-quality “You are special today” Red Plate. Historically, a family member was served dinner on a red plate to celebrate an achievement, birthday, or any occasion that calls for special recognition. And who better to produce such a piece than the company famous for its brilliantly colored glazes, especially its original Cherry Red? The 10-1/2-inch plate showcases the congratulatory "You are special" message around the rim with a sweet floral motif that is repeated in the center of the serving area. It comes in a gift box with a pen to write on the plate's backside and a card explaining the custom. Made in Germany; hand wash once pen has been used to write on surface.
It was a time honored tradition among early American families when someone deserved special praise or attention, they were served dinner on The Red Plate. Today this custom, so dear to early American families, returns to remind us a simple reward can mean so much. The Red Plate is the perfect way to acknowledge a family member's special triumphs . . . celebrate a birthday . . . praise a job well done . . . reward a goal achieved . . . or simply say "You are Special Today". When The Red Plate is used, any meal becomes a celebration, honoring that special person, event, or deed. It is a visible reminder of love and esteem, a way of showing someone dear to you they are appreciated and remembered. The Red Plate is designed and crafted to become a family heirloom as it is cherished and passed from one generation to the next, marking life's important milestones. This heart shaped Red Plate is 10.5" diameter plate and comes gift boxed with a pen. The Red Plate . . . make it a tradition in your family.
