    Yes, a silver platter may be worth something. Solid silver pieces likely have value simply due to the going market rate for silver precious metals.

If you need help identifying your platter's material, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can be of service. Find a selection of silver platters on 1stDibs.
