Square Plates

In the era of foodies, meal presentation is everything. Elevate your culinary creations on the coolest square plates and platters. Clean, crisp lines and low rims make simple white porcelain dinnerware feel uniquely modern. Start small, with appetizer plates that are the perfect size for sliders, a serving of a spiced nut or snack mix, starter salads and other nibbles. Appetizer plates are also place setting must-haves for a night of tapas or pintxos. The minimalist look of white square dinner plates mimics an artist’s untouched canvas—with a serving spoon or fork as your brush, arrange a plating as visually appetizing as the food itself. Lay a base of sauce or puree accompanying your entree. Then add your protein or main, followed by the starchy side and the vegetables. Finish the plate with artful dollops of dressing or sauce, as well as a restaurant-ready swipe. Sprinkle some finely chopped fresh herbs for a touch of color, or add a palmful of microgreens or sprouts.
