Porcelain plates

Start with what you serve. Each type has its own page with the plates, the sizes and how to choose.

• Flat plates: the dinner plate, the starter plate and the charger.
• Deep plates: for soup, pasta and stew, with or without a rim.
• Dessert plates: for dessert, a starter or breakfast.
• Bread plates: the small plate top left of the dinner plate.
• Bowls and dishes: for salad, breakfast, side dishes and serving.

You judge a plate by its weight and its rim. A plate with a wide rim looks formal and keeps sauce in place. A coupe plate has no rim: the food gets the whole surface, and the table looks calmer.

Choose one line first and build on it. Schönwald, Figgjo and Le Coq Porcelaine have the flat, the deep and the smaller plate in the same collection. That way you can add to it later without a table full of different whites.

How many do you need? Per person a flat and a deep plate, a dessert plate and possibly a bread plate. Add a few for breakages and for the days when the dishwasher is still running.

Schönwald makes sturdy white porcelain for the hospitality trade, with lines such as Fine Dining, Form 98, Unlimited and Shiro. Figgjo from Norway has Base, Grad, Ting and Front Dining, among others. Le Coq Porcelaine has decorated lines with a gold or coloured rim, such as Anthiros, Ionica and Helios, with chargers up to 34 cm.

Playground and Heart & Soul have coupe plates and plates with relief. Dibbern makes fine white porcelain, also with a platinum rim. Pordamsa, Vista Alegre and Esma Dereboy have freer shapes, for a plate that stands out on its own.

Many items come in packs of 6 or 12. The price per pack is shown with the product. All prices include VAT.
