A plate is more than just a piece of porcelain – it’s part of your everyday life, your table, and your personal style. Whether you’re setting the table for everyday use, a party, or a picnic, the choice of plate can make a big difference in both functionality and aesthetics. In this article, we guide you through the most important considerations when finding plates that suit your lifestyle and provide an overview of different types and brands worth knowing about.

The article presents a wide selection of plates in various materials, designs, and price ranges. The aim is to provide an informative overview of the options on the market so that you can more easily find the type that matches your needs and taste. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers, summarised to provide a clear and neutral overview.

Factors to consider when buying plates

When choosing plates, there are several practical and aesthetic factors to consider. Here are some of the most important considerations you should make.

1. Material

The material has a major impact on appearance, durability, and usability. Porcelain and stoneware are classic choices that provide an elegant look and withstand daily use. Melamine and bamboo are lightweight and practical for outdoor use, while glass and earthenware are often used for more decorative purposes.

2. Size and shape

Plates come in many sizes – from small lunch plates to large dinner plates. Consider what you usually serve and how much space you have in your cupboard and dishwasher. Round plates are the most common, but square or oval models can give a modern look.

3. Design and colour

Colours and patterns affect the atmosphere at the table. Neutral colours such as white and grey go with everything, while colourful or patterned plates can add personality and vibrancy. If you want flexibility, you can choose a set in a calm colour and complement it with a few decorative plates.

4. Dishwasher and microwave safe

For many, it’s important that the plates are safe for both the dishwasher and microwave. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations, as some materials or decorations may be damaged by heat or water pressure.

5. Price and quality

The price depends on the material, design, and brand. Cheaper plates can work well for everyday use, while more expensive sets often have higher quality and longer lifespan. Consider whether you want a complete set or just a few individual plates to complement your current collection.

Foodie plate Croco Green
A green children's plate from Done by Deer, made of food-grade plastic with a non-slip base and high rim that makes it easier for the child to eat independently.
Why it was chosen: Foodie plate Croco Green was selected as an example of a functional and reusable children's plate that combines practical design with sustainable materials and a child-friendly look.

The Foodie plate Croco Green is designed for small children who are learning to eat on their own. It has a high rim that helps the child scoop up food onto the spoon or fork, and a non-slip base that keeps the plate stable on the table.

The plate is made of 100% food-grade polypropylene (PP) with non-slip TPE, making it both durable and safe for daily use. It is dishwasher safe up to 70 °C and can be used in the microwave, but not in the oven.

When the plate has reached the end of its life, it can be sorted as plastic and recycled into new products. The design is part of Done by Deer's Foodie series, which combines functionality with playful animal-inspired motifs.

  • Non-slip base: Anti-slip TPE ensures the plate stays in place during meals.
  • High rim: Makes it easier for the child to scoop up food independently.

Frequently asked questions

Which material is best for everyday use?

Porcelain and stoneware are the most popular choices for everyday use as they combine durability with a stylish appearance. They are usually safe for both dishwasher and microwave.

How many plates should you have?

A set of 6–8 dinner plates and corresponding lunch and deep plates covers most needs. If you often have guests, it can be practical to have a few extras.

How do you avoid scratches on plates?

Use cutlery with smooth edges and avoid stacking plates with rough glaze directly on top of each other. You can use felt or paper separators if you want to protect them further.

Can you mix different tableware sets?

Yes, mixing different tableware sets can create a personal and lively look. Stick to a common colour tone or style so that the table setting still feels harmonious.

How do you best clean plates?
