Deep plates

A delicious pasta dish is best served in a decorative deep plate. A deep plate helps to keep the pasta warm so that it doesn't get cold soon after it's served and becomes boring to eat. Furthermore, a deep plate also helps to present the dish in the most attractive way.

At Rosendahl.com there are plenty of options for finding a plate that can contain the food, keep it warm and ensure that it is served on the table in a beautiful and presentable way. Our selection includes plates with classic white, coloured and patterned models. So take a look around this page and be inspired by all the different possibilities.

Beautifully served in deep plates

For most people, food is more appealing when it is presented tastefully and beautifully. Use a deep plate to serve the food, which brings it together and displays the beautiful dish instead of it being all spread out on a dinner plate. On the other hand, if you want to focus on the plate itself instead of the food, you can choose one of the beautiful, colourful plates from Lyngby Porcelæn and Kähler. This page offers many different options, and at Rosendahl.com you're guaranteed to find a plate or two that is sure to suit your taste.

Enhance your style

Service and tableware are a matter of taste. Some people prefer a classic white plate, while for others it may seem a little too ordinary or boring. Fortunately, we have many different designs to choose from, so you'll probably be able to find just the right one to suit your taste. This page offers a large selection of beautiful and stylish deep plates, making it easy for you to put together your very own style. 

For every day or parties?

In the old days, people used simple dinnerware for everyday use, and kept fancy dinnerware hidden in the cupbard that was only taken out for special guests. But times have changed. As there are an increasing number of designs and brands to choose from, many people choose to use the fine dinnerware for everyday use and combine plates and glasses from different ranges. Today, you can use whatever you want without traditions or guests dictacting how you should do it. It is therefore entirely up to you whether you want to buy plates from the same range or combine them in your own unique way.

It can also be challenging to have space for storing several dinnerware series that are to be used for different occasions. For this reason, many people choose to use the same dinnerware for both everyday and special occasions, and then decorate the table with beautiful decorations or folded napkins for a festive look. If, on the other hand, you have lots of space in the house and love to entertain guests, then it’s just a matter of utilising it. You can buy dinnerware for seasonal holidays and, for example, collect the incredibly beautiful Christmas plates from our range  to put in your display cabinet.

For smaller dishes

Deep plates can be used for many different things. You can have breakfast in it, and for the evening you can serve soup as a starter, spaghetti carbonara as a main course and ice cream with dessert – all in the same plate. The deep plate is smaller than the dinner plate, but with a selection of plates from 19 cm to 26 cm, you’re sure to find one that suits your needs.

How many should you buy?

How many plates you need is very individual. But you can start by looking at how many people live in your household. Do you live alone? Then 4–6 plates are enough to start with. This way you don't have to wash them up all the time and you'll still have enough plates when you have visitors. If you have a larger family, you'll need more dinnerware. More people – more plates. As a starting point, it is a good idea to have a tablware set with 10–12 plates and glasses. Then you’ll be on the safe side when you have guests, because it’s not so stylish if you have to supplement your elegant table setting with paper plates. Because the plates will need washing often, it pays to invest in good quality that lasts a long time. You can easily find a dinnerware set that is both beautiful and practical, and that stays that way, even after many cycles in the dishwasher.

Mix and match however you like

We have plates for all the various meals throughout a day, and  you'll therefore also find dinner plates, lunch plates, dessert plates, bowls and ice cream assiettes in the same collection. This allows you to stick to one dinnerware set if you prefer, or add a pop of colour to your table setting with a single green plate whenever you feel like it. After all, we only have the fun that we make ourselves.

Basically, it’s all about finding the plate that suits you and your needs. An attractive design and durability are important, but it's also very important to have a dinnerware set that goes well with what you want to serve. Imagine, for example, that you want to serve a nice salad, but you've only got  large plates in your cupboard. That's why it's important to have plates for every occasion and dish.

White dinnerware or beautiful colours from well-known brands

Many people opt for dinnerware in a timeless and simple white design that they can use for many years to come. This is a safe choice if you're planning on keeping your dinnerware set for life. Several of our brands offer beautiful white porcelain dinnerware sets, which go well together if you want to combine them.

Others might prefer a special design that stands out with beautiful colours or patterns. Of course, there's always the chance that in ten years time you'll no longer love that shade of blue you bought. This is a risk you'll have to take. But on the other hand, you'll have a unique dinnerware set that matches your own personal style. It can be a good idea to start by buying one or two colourful plates and see how it feels. Is it too much? Or does it suit your taste perfectly? In which case, you can always buy more afterwards. We have a beautiful selection of colourful deep plates, including Christmas plates, which are great for welcoming your Christmas guests.

The thoughtful gift

Beautiful and durable tableware is important for eating well. Therefore, it is essential that you choose a dinnerware set that suits your needs. It's worth investing in high-quality porcelain, as you have to eat from it day after day. Plates are something we all use. That’s why it’s also a great gift to get if you know someone who collects a specific dinnerware set. And you can almost always use another plate or glass. Porcelain is always a great gift because it’s so timeless. You can give it to close family members as well as colleagues or hosts who you don't know very well, but still want to give a nice gift to. A gift like this is guaranteed to make the person happy no matter what the occasion. However, it’s a good idea to find out what taste he or she has before you buy. Even though it’s a lovely gift to receive, a dinnerware set is a matter of personal taste and comfort.
