What plate sizes go with your dinnerware?
The right plates make all the difference between a harmonious table setting and an unbalanced one. Dinner plates with a diameter of 26-28 cm form the basis for main courses, while dessert plates with 19-21 cm are ideal for cakes or as breakfast plates. Deep plates for pasta and soups require at least 23 cm in diameter with a pronounced curvature so that sauces are shown to their best advantage. Extra-large platters from 30 cm are recommended for pizza. At EssZett, our product filters help you specifically search for plate types and sizes – so you can quickly find the right additions to your existing crockery. Our tip: Combine different plate sizes from one series, such as PTMD's popular Kaylaa collection, for a coherent overall look for any occasion.
