Perfect for Barbecues and Garden Parties

At a barbecue, it is often the little accompaniments that complete the meal.

Several of these plates can be used to serve herb butter, garlic butter, mustard, BBQ sauce, chutney, salt, spices, olives, chillies, pickled onions or lemon wedges separately.

Small tasting portions of grilled meat, fish or vegetables can also be attractively presented on them.

With Lasagne, Roasts and Gratins

Due to its small size, this plate is naturally not intended as a cooking dish for lasagne, roasts or gratins. Instead, it makes a beautiful and practical accompaniment when these dishes are served.

With lasagne, it can hold freshly grated Parmesan, basil, pesto or a small portion of olives.

With roast meat, it is ideal for horseradish, mustard, herb butter, chutney or seasoning salt.

With potato gratin, it can be used for fresh herbs, grated cheese or a small dip.

In this way, main courses can be complemented by small individual accompaniments while creating an attractive table presentation.

For Fish and Seafood

The small plate is also very practical when serving fish dishes.

Use it for lemon wedges, herb butter, dill, horseradish, aioli or a small portion of sauce.

With smoked salmon, for example, it can hold capers, horseradish or a small lemon wedge.

With prawns or shrimp, it is ideal for aioli or a small serving of herb dip.

For Bread, Baguette and Cheese

The plate is perfect for a single slice of baguette, a small piece of bread, crostini or crackers.

Small portions of cheese can also be attractively arranged on it.

A cheese tasting becomes particularly appealing when different varieties are presented on several small plates. Add nuts, figs, grapes, honey or chutney to create individual tasting combinations.

For Coffee, Tea and Little Moments of Enjoyment

Next to a cup of coffee, the small plate can hold a piece of chocolate, a biscuit, a chocolate truffle or a small bite of cake.

With tea, it is useful for rock sugar, lemon, a small portion of honey or for placing a used tea bag.

Even a simple coffee break can become a more thoughtful and enjoyable moment.

For Chocolates and Confectionery

The plate is particularly attractive as a small chocolate or praline plate.

A single high-quality chocolate or two or three small pieces of confectionery look especially elegant when presented on a beautifully decorated ceramic plate.

This makes it ideal for private coffee tables as well as cafés, hotels and restaurants, or for serving a small welcome treat to guests.

For Restaurants and Professional Gastronomy

In professional gastronomy, this little plate can be used in many different ways.

Restaurants can use it for an amuse-bouche, butter, salt, spices, dips, sauces, olives, lemon, herbs or small accompaniments.

Individual pieces of finger food can also be presented attractively.

For larger groups of guests, different Polish Pottery patterns can be deliberately mixed and matched. This creates an individual table setting where not every plate needs to look identical.

For Cafés and Patisseries

In a café, the small plate makes a lovely accompaniment to coffee, cappuccino, espresso or tea.

It can be used for

One chocolate or truffle

A small biscuit

A mini brownie

A piece of chocolate

They can also be used directly at the table as small side plates.
