Deep dinner plates are ideal for dishes that aren't suitable for a flat plate, but for which a bowl is just a bit too deep. Think pasta with sauce, curries, stews, risotto, or a generous salad. The raised rim keeps the dish neatly organized, keeping the table clean and organized.
At Things I Like Things I Love, you'll find functional deep plates that fit perfectly into a simple, timeless tableware collection. They're designed for everyday use and complement the rest of the plates in the collection.
What is the difference with regular dinner plates?
The biggest difference is the rim. While dinner plates are usually flat, deep dinner plates have a distinctly raised rim. This makes them better suited for dishes with sauce or multiple ingredients.
The raised rim makes a deep dinner plate suitable for dishes with sauce, without your food spilling over. The plate is wide enough to serve a main course and deep enough to accommodate sauce, dressing, or gravy. This allows you to eat more gently, and the plate remains functional for everyday meals.
Shape, material and use
Deep dinner plates are usually round and made of ceramic or stoneware. These materials are sturdy, comfortable to use, and suitable for everyday use. They are heat-resistant, easy to clean, and retain their appearance even with frequent use.
Slight variations in glaze or finish are normal in ceramics and prevent the plate from appearing stark or bulky. This makes deep dinner plates suitable for combining with other tableware, such as bowls or breakfast plates .
How to combine deep dinner plates
Deep dinner plates work best as part of a complete set. Pair them with flat dinner plates for main courses without sauce, and use pastry and side dish plates for smaller courses or side dishes.
For shared dining or serving larger dishes, serving plates are a logical fit. Choosing plates within the same color palette creates a calming overall effect without everything having to be exactly the same.
