Plates are once again popular

Plates have had their ups and downs over time, but as people has begun decorating and furnishing their homes with personal and unique items, they have become popular again, especially in recent years! The antique, vintage, and retro have a special place in modern decor, which has led to increased interest in platters, both as collectibles and as decorative elements in interior design.

The increased focus on sustainability and environmental awareness is also significant when it comes to the return of platters. Many of the popular platters are purchased used and then reused in new and creative ways. For example, there is a trend to use platters in unconventional ways, such as as a base for potted plants or as an alternative wall decoration by hanging the platters in an uneven and informal group.

Platters can be a beautiful and versatile decorative item that adds a personal touch to the home. You can place them around the home, for example on a shelf or table, where it will add a nice and decorative element to the room.

Which plates have value?

We buy records every day, but we also have to say that we have thousands of plates in stock. There are a lot of plates that we currently do not buy, as we already have enough in stock. This applies, for example, to most plates produced in the 70s and 80s, as these are typically made in relatively large quantities, and therefore we already have enough of these in stock.

You can find our sales prices (values) for most types of plates here on the website. Note that this is not the same as purchase prices, i.e. the amount you will be offered if you wish to sell to us. We do not disclose our purchase prices on the website, as these can vary greatly depending on supply, demand and our inventory situation.
