A beautiful holiday meal deserves to be displayed on equally beautiful serveware. But rather than filling your kitchen with Thanksgiving platters donning turkeys and Christmas dinnerware complete with boughs of holly, opt for pieces that can be used for the entire holiday season.

There are plenty of stunning serving platters—worthy of turkey, prime rib, and other holiday mains—that don't feature motifs specific to each celebration. From seasonally-inspired color palettes to sophisticated patterns, these platters will look gorgeous on your holiday tabletop—but the best part is that you can use them more than once a year.

Williams Sonoma Cyprus Reactive Glaze Serving Platter

Jewel-hued reactive glazes give this stoneware platter its distinctive beauty. When the ceramic piece is fired, the mineral-infused glazes pool, deepen and diffuse to create ombré shading. The platter is available in three colors (white, blue, and green), but we think the forest green hue is the ultimate choice for holiday soirées.
