Medium Plate – Rôtisseur – Polish Pottery Tableware
Among all the plates used in a kitchen, the medium plate (approximately 20 cm diameter) stands out as the most versatile and frequently used.
These plates, handcrafted in Bolesławiec by Ceramika Artystyczna, offer:
Outstanding durability and heat resistance
Microwave, oven, and dishwasher compatibility
Elegant hand-painted patterns
Practical elegance for everyday use or fine dining
Where and How the Rôtisseur or Home Cook Uses the Medium Plate:
As an underplate:
Ideal for placing a small bowl filled with pommes frites, croquettes, vegetables, or sauces.
As a side dish plate:
For potatoes, salad, rice, steamed vegetables, or bread.
As a breakfast plate:
Perfect for toast, eggs, fruit, or pastries – at the buffet or on the set table.
As a dessert plate:
For cakes, tarts, panna cotta, or fruit salads.
As a small serving plate:
To serve fries, sandwiches, small meat dishes, or even entire light meals.
As a pastry plate:
For cookies, scones, or snacks during coffee or tea.
As a cutlery plate in table settings:
Used to place cutlery during formal or multi-course meals.
As a “scrap plate” at the table:
Useful for bones, shells, or leftovers diners want to set aside cleanly.
Recommendation for Home Use:
We recommend at least 4 medium plates per person in any household. In practice, they are used multiple times a day:
Morning: for breakfast
Noon: as side or lunch plate
Evening: for desserts or as serving plate
With guests: as underplates or spare settings
