Charger plates are the basic tableware used to hold staple foods, side dishes or desserts in Western catering. The common charger plate sizes are 10 inches, 9 inches, 8 inches, etc. Charger plates are mainly made of metal and glass, and their shapes are mainly round but also square or other irregular shapes. For Western food, the placement and order of dinner plates are also very particular. Different tableware is usually placed from the outside to the inside. Silver tableware is more appropriate to use. The charger plate is not only for convenience and beauty but also a unique cultural symbol and etiquette embodiment.
The placement and handling of charger plates sets are also very particular. The charger plate is usually placed directly in front of the diner, to the left of the napkin. When placing the dinner plates, there is usually a sequence; that is, the main course plate is placed first, then the side dishes and dessert plates. Generally, there are two forks, two knives and a spoon. The main dish tableware is placed next to the main dish plate, and the side dish tableware is placed to the left or right of the main dish plate.
There are many choices for charger plate materials, including ceramics, glass, metal, wood, etc. Ceramic charger plates and marble charger plates are a common dinner plate material that is beautiful, durable, and easy to clean. Ceramic charger plates also come in a variety of shapes and colors to match different dishes and occasions.

However, it should be noted that glass charger plates are relatively fragile and need to be handled with care.

The color of the charger plate can be chosen according to different themes and occasions.

At the same time, white charger plates also give people a clean and tidy feeling, making the entire dining environment more comfortable. The blue charger plate gives a fresh, oceanic feel and is suitable for summer or coastal-themed dining occasions. At the same time, blue also has a calm and quiet feeling, which can make diners feel calmer and more relaxed.

This design can add beauty and interest to the plate while also bringing a sense of pleasure and relaxation to diners.
