When I was married, back in 1970, one of the traditions I loved from my mother-in-law, was the special way of celebrating individual events in the family. Whether it was a birthday, honor roll, special sports honor, anniversary, wedding, etc, the infamous "red plate" would appear at the honoree's place at the table during mealtime. As a wedding present, my mother-in-law gave us a "red plate" to have in our lives. Six years ago, our son was married and I wanted he & our daughter-in-law to be able to carry on the "red plate" tradition as well.
I searched and searched and couldn't find the "red plate" anywhere. There were lots of "imposters" but it wasn't the right plate. I thought I'd look on Amazon and, lo and behold, there it was! The plate is made by a German company, Waechtersbach and is a sturdy, heavy-duty, high quality, piece of dinnerware, that is a vibrant, cherry red.
It comes packaged in a beautiful box with the history of the plate on the back. In addition, there is a pen that can be used to write the dates when it is used & even a small message. Best of all is how very "special" the person feels, who sits before the "red plate". It can be washed in the dishwasher, although we've never done that. There's something about cleaning & drying the "red plate" that is so special, no one wants to take a chance that it may get chipped or faded.
If you are looking for a way to begin a special tradition in your family, I recommend this product without hesitation. It also makes a perfect wedding or birth present that goes a long way toward helping the receiver remember the giver for a very long time.

Looks just like a 25 year old Red Plate only better!
This is the same Red Plate we've had for years. The red glaze is a bit brighter and the white type is whiter, but it's the real deal. In the first photo I posted, you can see the new plate on the left and the old plate on the right. I don't think it's made in Germany. I posted a photo of the back of the new plate & it no longer says Made in Germany. This plate was ordered for a wedding gift and I am happy with it. And it arrived quickly!
