Are all Portrait Platters the same?
There are many other companies out there selling a similar product and I feel that we all have
our place in the market. When it comes to selling Portrait Platters, I have seen that they are
not all made the same.  Here are some things about my platters I would like you to know...

  • Everything is 100% hand painted!  All from my original artwork.  You will even get a
    digital proof of your plate design to review before I paint your order.  I do proofs so that
    we both feel confident about how the end design will look.  I want to be sure you get
    what you want when you order and do not get an unhappy surprise when your platter
    arrives.

  • I do not use decals on my platters.  Decals are great when you want it quick and
    inexpensive, but they do not have the durability or functionality that hand painting offers.  
    Decals can eventually scratch or come off the platter and are not safe to use with food.  

  • I do not use a ceramic pencil to do black outlining and lettering.  Ceramic pencils
    may be quicker and easier to use for outlining, but it does not look as professional as
    painting does.  It may take me longer to paint your platter, but I choose quality.

  • All plates and platters are fully functional!  Hand painting, glazing and kiln firing
    makes all my plates and platters safe to use for food and not just to display.  They are
    dishwasher safe, however I do recommend hand washing.

  • I will work with you one-on-one to discuss and create the design.  You will only
    deal with me, the artist that paints your platter.  I am here full time, this is not a hobby
    that I do on nights and weekends, it is a FULL time job.  I am  always happy to assist
    you and answer your questions.  It is important to me that you feel like I am available to
    assist you.  Even though ordering online may seem impersonal, you are not just dealing
    with a computer, you are dealing with a real person!

With that said....My platters may at times take a little longer to receive than other company's,
but I do not employ other artists to do my painting and naturally sometimes I do get very busy.  
I work hard everyday to get orders out quickly but without compromising on quality.  Every
order is important, no matter how busy I get, and I will spend the time to paint every order to
best of my ability. I always give you a shipping time so you know when to expect your order
and sometimes I am even able to ship early.  If I can get something done quickly for you
because you have a deadline, I will be happy to.  I have been around since 2003 and it is still
a joy to paint.  I have included some customer testimonials below.....

I look forward to working with you if you decide to order from me.


Sincerely,

Tina Rosel

Tina -

My platter just arrived and I
wanted to thank you for the
beautiful job you did.  This
will be a Christmas gift for
my Mother.  She is someone
who has everything and very
difficult to shop for.  I think
this will be one of the best
gifts I've ever given her.  
Thank you so much.

Good morning, Tina.  

I just received my platter
today.  The proof that you
send out does not NEARLY
give your work the justice it
deserves!!!  I teared up just
looking at the platter.  I don’t
think platter would be.  But
that adds to how wonderful it
is.  I am so confident that my
parents will love it as much as
I do, if not more.  You went
above and beyond my
expectations, and I am
grateful for that.  Rarely do I
order from the Internet
because of my fear of being
scammed.  
You've made this entire
process enjoyable for me.  I
would love to add my 2 cents
on how FABULOUS this
platter is.  

Again, thank you for going
above and beyond to ensure
that I would have this well in
advance of the anniversary
party that I am planning for
them.  I hope you have a
Blessed day!

Stephanie

Hi Tina.  
I just wanted to thank you
again for the beautiful family
portrait platter you created
for my mother-in-law and
father-in-law for their 50th
wedding anniversary.  They
absolutely loved it and
everyone at the party wanted
to know your name and

worth it!
