A wide variety of shapes for your perfectly equipped plate set

Flat plates are essential for serving multiple courses on a carefully set table. Starters such as antipasti creations or carpaccio, main courses featuring fish, meat and side dishes, as well as all manner of desserts, can be arranged decoratively on flat plates.

If you wish to welcome your guests in style, it is therefore advisable to have a sufficient number of flat plates in various sizes to hand. From the classic dinner plate to the breakfast plates, these flat plates should be a staple in any well-organised household:

• Bread plates

Bread plates are significantly smaller than conventional dinner plates and make a wonderful addition to any tableware set. Contrary to popular belief, these flat plates are used only to serve slices of bread or rolls, not a whole loaf or baguette. The flat bread plate is placed on the far left of the cutlery, alongside the butter knife. Alternatively, as a set of two or four, they can also be used for side dishes.

• Breakfast plates

Rosenthal offers high-quality breakfast plates in vibrant or muted colours. These small, flat plates typically have a diameter of approximately 22 cm. As well as for breakfast, these small, flat plates are also ideal for desserts, cakes and starters. You should therefore always have plenty of breakfast plates in your kitchen cupboard.

• Dinner plates

As a classic dinner plate with a diameter of around 27 cm, the flat dinner plate is the centrepiece of the set table. It offers ample space for main courses such as fish or a steak with a side dish and is available with or without a rim – the so-called plate flange – depending on the model. Flat white dinner plates with a rim are among the classics, whereas rimless dinner plates have a particularly modern look.

• Service plates

Service plates form the basis of the entire meal and are not removed from the table during the meal. Classically, they are flat and, with a diameter of around 33 cm, exceptionally large – even pizza plates can be placed on them. On the set table, the large plate ensures a uniform, elegant overall look and protects the table from stains.

• Small plates

Flat small plates are ideal for side dishes or antipasti. Anyone who incorporates small plates into a set table demonstrates good taste and an understanding of design.

Flat plates in bright colours for decorative highlights

Brightly coloured plates are currently taking the hearts of dinnerware lovers by storm – and for good reason. A set table presented in a sea of colours with expressive shades creates a special ambience and looks exceptionally inviting and appealing. After all, you eat with your eyes too. With flat plates in vibrant colours, you can create unique arrangements and expand on them creatively with other tableware pieces.

Lovers of natural colours and shapes will find exactly what they’re looking for with flat stoneware plates. Rosenthal’s popular Junto collection with its handmade look impresses with its rustic charm and nature-inspired shades, which harmonise beautifully with a minimalist interior such as the Scandi style. The flat plate from the Swarovski x Rosenthal SIGNUM surprises with detailed patterns and bold colours such as Rose, Fern, Azure and Jonquil.

But flat plates with a retro look also bring colour to the table. Colourfully decorated plate rims or floral ornaments, such as those in the Rosenthal Maria collection, exude nostalgia and strike just the right balance between subtle white and refreshing colours. Combined with flat plates featuring relief-like ornaments, they create vibrant table settings that are a feast for the eyes for both guests and hosts.
