Grandmother's Glass Serving Trays Platters
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
I remember when summer would come, just how good it made my heart feel. After so many months trapped inside a house with two parents, and four other siblings, until the winter passed, could drive a child crazy! Mom's porcelain serving trays platters were always a hit when we had our summer parties!
I definitely was not raised in a rich family. We always rose with the chickens, and worked all day long. I appreciated everything I had because, I had to earn it. My parents were very strict and believed that hard work would give their children character. I believe my parents were correct in their practices and I am happy they instilled those beliefs in me.
My mother's platters were envied because they were made like nothing anyone had ever seen. The tints that were employed in the making of the three trays, seemed to hold your attention longer than you planned. Being porcelain, no one was allowed to handle them besides my mother.
The arrangement of colors that were painted onto the porcelain were matched in a way I had never viewed. My mom saw that I was falling in love with them and decided to share with me how she became the owner of such grandiose masterpieces. The story is truly bittersweet.
When my mother was just a teenager, her mother was very ill and the doctors did not give my grandmother very long to live. Just before grandmother passed on, she told my mother that there would be a gift for her on her craft table in grandmother's workshop. My grandmother enjoyed crafting glass items, and the set of three platters was grandmother's last project.
Those three porcelain platters are now on my china shelf, being bestowed to me from my momma before she passed away. No one touches them, and no one will until my death. They are worth more to me than all the money on earth.
