Special plate

The Special plate section includes pieces designed for a specific culinary use, beyond standard serving plates. Pasta, pizza or divided dishes: each format answers a presentation or portion requirement, both for service and at the table. This selection suits hospitality professionals as much as private customers looking for a plate matched to a defined use. For a broader overview, browse the Plates range.

Types of special plates

• Pasta plate — deep and wide, it holds the sauce and makes serving long or short pasta easier.
• Divided plate — separates preparations on a single piece, useful for portions and distinct presentations.
• Pizza plate — a large diameter suited to serving an individual pizza.

Choosing the right special plate

Which format for which dish?

The choice depends on the dish served. The pasta bowl, deep and flared, holds the sauce; the pizza plate favours a large flat diameter; the divided plate suits services that separate several preparations.

Porcelain or another material?

Porcelain remains the benchmark for its durability and neutrality in contact with food. Several pieces in this selection are dishwasher- and oven-safe; check the product specifications for intensive hospitality use.

Home or professional use?

For hospitality service, favour stackable ranges that are easy to reorder. At home, looks and versatility often matter more than impact resistance.
