Beyond Utility: How Plates Came to Be the Soul of Every Table

Although many people, unfortunately, consider them a lower priority, plates are, in fact, the foundation of every eye-catching dining setting. Doing far more than simply holding food, dining plates frame culinary masterpieces, accentuating flavors, and transforming simple dinners into works of art. This here is precisely why the selection of the design becomes so central to hospitality and style.

Looking back at the origin of fancy plates, we see that it began to form in the  Renaissance. As trade routes were established linking Europe to the East, the aristocracy was introduced to the breathtaking beauty of porcelain. Monarchs and nobles displayed them in cabinets as works of art and used them only on the most significant state occasions.

Driven by a vigorous desire to replicate these marvels, Europe achieved the extraordinary feat of manufacturing its own hard-paste porcelain. Starting in the 18th century, a new age of European ceramic art was born, and factories like Wedgwood started creating exquisite designs for royal courts and wealthy families.

As the Industrial Revolution made manufacturing more accessible, beautiful ceramic plates became more attainable. This has fortified fancy plates’ place in the heart of the family table, as a way to show care, celebrate occasions, and bring a touch of elegance to daily life.

Returning to the present day, plates have become among the most versatile elements of the dining experience. They adapt seamlessly from casual breakfasts to elaborate feasts, always enriching the atmosphere with their exceptional designs. With every plate having its own voice, it becomes the soul of setting the table with elegance and intention, specifically when chosen thoughtfully.

When it comes to formal dinners or festive celebrations, fancy plates take center stage. With their intricate designs and luxurious finishes, they become focal points that captivate your guests and enhance the overall dining ambiance. Here, specialty plates shine, whether designed for salads, desserts, or artistic presentations, as they bring a refined uniqueness to every occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions

1- What are the different types of plates?

The Roomours collection includes a wide range of pieces — starting from small sizes made for desserts, all the way up to charger plates. Each one serves a different purpose, ensuring your table is complete for whatever occasion.

2- Are bone china and porcelain plates the same?

Not really, but they are very closely related. Bone china is, in fact, considered a specific type of porcelain. While both may use the same base ingredients, the difference lies in adding bone ash to bone china plates. This addition allows for thinner, lighter, and more delicate-looking pieces that preserve, or even sometimes enhance, their strength and chip resistance.

3- What's the difference between a plate and a platter?

While both are designed to present a meal, a plate is a personal canvas, perfectly scaled to frame the culinary creation intended for an individual. The platter, by contrast, can be considered the centerpiece of sharing. It’s generously sized and grander in scale, making it the perfect piece to partake in a communal feast.
