When you're refreshing your tableware drinkware serving lineup, one of the first calls is whether a single statement platter handles the job or a coordinated set gives you more flexibility. Two white porcelain options show that trade-off clearly: the Haviland & Co. Oval Serving Platter White With Gold Trim at USD 30.00, and the Ceramic Serving Platter Set 14"/12"/10" White Porcelain Serveware for Parties at USD 59.61. They differ in condition, size, and how many pieces you get.
Quick Verdict
Pick the Haviland oval platter for a decorative main-dish platter. It's a porcelain piece from Limoges, France, with a silver anniversary pattern. Pick the Ceramic Serving Platter Set when you need platters for multiple courses; it includes large, medium, and small sizes.

Product Notes
Haviland & Co. Oval Serving Platter White With Gold Trim
This Haviland platter is a used porcelain piece from Limoges, France. The glossy finish, oval shape, and silver anniversary pattern give it a particular look that's different from a plain white set. If you're serving a roast or a showpiece dish, this single platter can carry that presentation. The limitation is that it's just one platter; for a dinner where several dishes go out at once, you'll need other serving pieces. The used condition is worth noting if you prefer everything brand-new.
Ceramic Serving Platter Set 14"/12"/10" White Porcelain Serveware for Parties
This new set gives you three pieces: large, medium, and small platters. The large platter is listed at 14 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, and the set weighs 3 pounds overall. All three share a glossy white porcelain finish, with raised border and rimmed edge details. That makes it useful when you need to serve sides, mains, or appetizers at the same time. The trade-off is that the set includes multiple pieces even when you only need one platter; the extra pieces may sit unused.
Final Choice by Use Case
Choose the Haviland & Co. Oval Serving Platter White With Gold Trim if you want a decorative platter with gold trim for a main course. Choose the Ceramic Serving Platter Set 14"/12"/10" White Porcelain Serveware for Parties if you're restocking for parties or regularly serving multiple dishes; it covers more serving scenarios in one purchase.
