Plates are an integral part of tableware and they include dinner plates, salad plates, soup plates and at times tea plates too. You may want to own two different sets of dinner plates, one for daily use and another for those special occasions.
White and lighter shades are preferable as scratches or chips will be less visible on lighter surfaces. Dark or contrasting shades will add colour to your table. Plates with intricate designs painted on them will enhance the beauty of the table setting.
Conventionally only round plates were available but nowadays you can have your pick of uniquely designed plates like square plates, oval plates, hexagonal plates etc.
