The only thing you can use safely is a 'claw' (didn't know that's what they're called) basically a system of expanding wire attached to 4 hooks which loop over the plate/platter, I have lots of hanging plates and platters in my kitchen and I found to my cost that they're the only thing that work, when the platter is hanging the bits at the front are barely noticeable. I'm not sure where you can buy them now, I used to buy them in the now defunct China Showrooms and the old Roches Stores. I'm sure you'll find them online.
