Choosing your appetizer tableware

Verrine, porcelain or cutlery: which format?

The choice depends on the type of bite. Verrines suit layered cold preparations and showcase colours; miniature porcelain works for warm or more formal presentations; cutlery for zakuski completes the service for practical tasting.

What capacity for a cocktail dinner?

For an amuse-bouche format, capacities of 4 to 8 cl are the most common: they allow a single portion without overloading the plate. Larger volumes are reserved for starters or more generous sweet-and-savoury verrines.

Glass or porcelain for professional use?

Glass offers transparency and resistance to intensive washing; porcelain provides a premium finish and is oven-safe for warm bites. In hospitality, the choice depends on service pace and menu type.

Should you buy in sets?

For restaurant service or receptions, buying in sets ensures a consistent presentation and simplifies restocking. Private customers may prefer quantities matched to the number of guests. Among the most popular ranges, the Bodega collection is the best-selling, alongside Abeille, Islande and the Gobelets froissés.
