Q. Thank you for answering (question 2510). Re the last paragraph, my question was concerning fancy glass or metal dishes that are definitely meant to be reused. Can one eat directly from them if such a platter was sent for a simcha? Does it make a difference if it is considered a serving dish rather than an individual eating dish?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that although these utensils are fancy glass or metal dishes that are definitely meant to be reused, since you are only using them now to take and eat the food already on them, this first time you use them, they do not require tevila.
However, since they were already immersed in a questionable tevila at the store, (see question 2510), for future use. you should immerse them without a brocho or together with others that do require a brocho.
