Serve starters and canapés elegantly with platters from Rosenthal

On Rosenthal platters, appetisers, snacks, starters, main courses or desserts become the festive centrepiece of the set table. The beautifully shaped porcelain platters are an indispensable all-rounder for the aesthetic presentation of food and offer many possibilities for decorative arrangements.

You can use the porcelain platters both for arranging multiple portions and for presenting individual courses. Combined with small bowls and dishes for snacks and dips, or used as a buffet serving platter, this serving ware becomes an indispensable element of modern table culture.

Discover platters in various shapes

A Rosenthal serving platter is perfect for stylishly presenting special delicacies. Pieces from the Rosenthal Mesh collection and the stoneware platters from the Rosenthal Junto collection lend the dining table a light yet modern look, whilst a porcelain serving platter such as those from the Rosenthal Sanssouci collection exudes a touch of nostalgia and adds elegant accents.

Rosenthal platters are available in a wide variety of shapes. Large platters with a diameter of around 38 cm are ideal for buffets or for serving meals to a group of guests. For a small number of people or, for example, antipasti for two, our medium platters with a diameter of around 26 cm are ideal. Small platters, on the other hand, offer a stylish alternative to plates, as they allow food to be arranged creatively.

Before buying, you should always consider what you intend to serve on the platter.

Square platter: Square platters allow side dishes to be skilfully showcased. They are also ideal as cake platters for slices of cake and pastries.

Rectangular serving platter: Canapés, small dishes of dips or vegetable skewers – finger food and appetisers look particularly good on rectangular serving platters. Long, rectangular serving platters are also ideal as sushi platters.

Oval platter: This model can be used as an oval tray for serving or as an alternative to a conventional plate. For example, oval platters are ideal for serving carpaccio.

Round platter: From cakes and yeast plait to savoury barbecued meat, round platters are the all-rounders among serving trays – and are also ideal as cake stands.

Platters made from various materials

Whether cakes, barbecued meat, cheese or cold crêpes – a wide variety of dishes can be presented beautifully on a platter. In the Rosenthal online shop, you can choose from various materials, each with its own distinct advantages.

Porcelain platters: The classic

At Rosenthal, you can find platters made from high-quality premium porcelain, which look particularly elegant and timeless. White porcelain platters are among the classics of serving ware and should be a staple in any well-stocked household. The advantages of porcelain platters are their heat resistance and good heat-insulating properties, which keep food warm for a long time.

We offer porcelain platters in a wide variety of styles: oval, round or square, classic white, plain or with delicate decorations or reliefs. Arranged as a set of platters, they also form the ideal basis for buffets.

Elegant platter made of bone china

Also known as ‘bone china’, this material is considered the finest porcelain in the world due to its appearance. This special porcelain is created using a unique firing and glazing process, giving it a very fine and translucent finish. With Rosenthal’s exceptional platters featuring floral patterns made from bone china, such as the , you can elegantly present cold cuts, cheese, fish, meat and dessert.

Stoneware platters

Whether as cake and pie platters, cheese platters or for buffets – stoneware platters are ultra-modern and incredibly versatile. Organic shapes with a handmade look, subtle colours and delicate patterns reveal the craftsmanship and show every dish in its best light. Our stoneware tableware is fired at very high temperatures and has a rustic look that provides a lovely contrast to fine porcelain. Stoneware platters feel comfortable in the hand and add a stylish touch – particularly when combined with porcelain dinnerware.

Serve and decorate dishes individually: our tips

When you present starters, main courses or desserts on beautiful serving plates, you demonstrate good taste and showcase your aesthetic flair for stylish presentation. With a few tricks, the dishes you serve will look even more inviting:

• To do this, use ingredients you’ll need for preparing the meal anyway: grated carrots, courgettes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, mozzarella, salad, melon slices, citrus fruits, apples or radishes are perfect for showcasing a wide variety of dishes.
• Fish, meat or cheese platters are given the finishing touch with herbs, flowers or oils.
• Sweet dishes are complemented decoratively with cream, sweet sauces, chocolate sprinkles, icing sugar, sugar pearls or fruit.
• For cake and pie platters, delicate doilies or sugar and marzipan roses are well worth using. Platters with canapés become real eye-catchers when you decorate them with dips or a selection of cold cuts.
