Black and White Dinner Plates

Dinner plates are made from all kinds of materials, from ceramic to glass. Ceramic dinner plates are either stoneware or earthenware and are perfect for everyday use. Stoneware is a simple and long-lasting everyday dinner plate that is made in all sorts of colors with smooth and shiny glazes. Earthenware is the second type of ceramic that is popular for everyday use. Once an earthenware dinner plate is made, it must be glazed to seal out water. These are perfect if you’re looking for a dinner plate set at an affordable price. Everybody covets an elegant porcelain or china dinner plate. These ceramics are fired at high temperatures or fired twice with a blend of bone ash. Although these dinner plates are slightly more expensive, they do have a more refined look and high durability.

Once you’ve chosen the right material, you can focus on picking out the dinner plate set with the shapes that match your personality. You can find round dinner plates in many different styles, from traditional to contemporary. Oval plates also look great in all styles. If you want a modern or contemporary look to your tableware, then check out square and triangular plates. These dinner plates look great when paired with simple and angular flatware. Square and triangular dinner plates are perfect for a modern dinner party, especially with a linen tablecloth.

Aside from material and design, dinner plates also have a bunch of special features that make cleaning, storing, and upkeep much more manageable. If you don’t like to stand over the sink after a meal, then go with dishwasher safe dinner plates. Most ceramics are dishwasher safe, including stoneware and earthenware. China and porcelain are not dishwasher safe or microwave safe. If you prefer renewable materials, or products that are eco-friendly, then there are many different glass and wood plates with fun colors and rich wood stains.
