Rosenthal antipasti plates for serving delicious starters

Antipasti are an integral part of Italian Mediterranean cuisine. They symbolise shared enjoyment and unforgettable summer evenings. A varied selection of small starters is arranged together on a plate and served. Generous plates or serving platters are particularly well-suited to showcasing the various components to their best advantage. Rosenthal offers small serving platters, medium serving platters and large serving platters, which can be arranged individually as antipasti platters depending on the choice of food.

When choosing the right antipasti plate, the material plays a crucial role. Rosenthal offers antipasti plates made from porcelain and stoneware, two materials that each offer different advantages.

• Porcelain: Porcelain consists of a finely balanced mixture of kaolin, feldspar and quartz. The firing process creates a dense, smooth surface with precise shaping. It has a clear and uniform appearance and lends a very elegant touch to the antipasti served on it.
• Stoneware: Stoneware is made from natural clays and fired at high temperatures. This results in a particularly robust material with a slightly rustic character. The glaze is often applied by hand, giving each piece a unique look. Tableware made from this material is particularly well suited to serving Mediterranean starters, making it ideal for presenting antipasti.

Rosenthal Junto is characterised by a young, playful design that lends a special atmosphere to culinary occasions. The serving platters are available in either a diamond or elongated oval shape. The large flat plates in the collection, with a diameter of 33 cm, are also ideal for serving a variety of starters. Their round yet slightly irregular shape is particularly appealing and makes the antipasti platter a real eye-catcher.

Rosenthal’s Sonetto Stoneware collection is the epitome of gourmet and fine dining. Its rhythmically curved shape is reminiscent of Italian poetry. The serving plates in the range are made from high-quality stoneware and measure up to 20 cm. Furthermore, they are available with thick or flat bases, creating an exciting, multi-dimensional look when serving antipasti. Combine your stoneware-style antipasti plate with the elegant white plates, cups and bowls from Rosenthal Sonetto to create an extraordinary table setting of poetic perfection.
