Have you noticed how we all jump from Halloween to Christmas with our collectible items? Maybe because the stores do the same thing, but there is a holiday in between, and it's Thanksgiving.

Don`t forget the turkey or ham platter. One of the simplest and most beautiful we`ve seen is Williams-Sonoma`s plain oval ceramic platter, imported from Italy. It is not heavy porcelain ...

You'll be serving in style with this ceramic platter featuring a colorful turkey and "Happy Thanksgiving" design. The pop of blue is the prettiest unexpected touch. Not into traditional fall colors?

There were turkey platters designed by the Johnson Brothers ... And there are so many handsome ceramic pieces available — new or vintage — that can make your table so joyfully festive.
