Plate (dishware)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A plate is a type of dishware, being a broad, concave but mainly flat vessel on which food is served. Plates are commonly made from ceramic materials such as bone china , porcelain & stoneware as well as other materials like plastic or glass; occasionally, wood or carved stone is used. Disposable plates are often made from paper. Plates for serving food come in a variety of sizes, from small saucers, to bread and butter plates, to dinner plates, to large platters from which food for several people may be distributed at table. Some plates are made as decorative items for display rather than used for food.
