I have a beautiful ceramic plate I would like to hang on a wall, but I can't find a device capable of holding such a large plate. The plate is 22" in diameter in 4" deep. It weights about 20 lbs.
I have spent hours searching the net and I have found plenty of plate holders, but none that hold a plate this large.
Does anyone know of a device I can buy? Or is there something I can make?
Some restrictions:
* I don't want to glue anything to the plate
* I don't want to build a shelf on the wall
I am essentially looking for a solution similiar to the standard wire hangers made to use small plates.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

What about two large rubber coated hooks, like for hanging bicycles, you can place one at 4 o clock, and one at 8 o clock, you will need a stud finder, or very small nails to find the studs in the wall. Also it might be a good idea to check for electrical wires, there is a similar decice to a stud finder for that purpose.... Since the screws will go deep.
I would opt for either a black or white one to compliment the plates colors.

I would go to a mirror-glass store and buy those heavy duty brackets they use to secure large mirrors to the wall with. Bring the measurements of the plate, (as well as how far the edge sticks out from the wall, in case you need a spacer), with you when you go.

check pier one, as a last resort go to the hardware store and create one, use the small one as a model

A screw, a drill, and yarn.
