What Kind
of Plate is Right For You? |
|
|
Wide Rims - Show off smaller portions and require
ample tabletop space. |
| Medium Rims - Are
versatile and allow flexibility in portion control. |
| Narrow Rims - Provide
maximum food service area and accommodate smaller tables and have a casual flair. |
| Coupe - Shapes have no
rim at all. Contemporary in appearance, they offer maximum surface area. |
