Anna Weatherley Empire Service Plate

A service plate, or charger, acts as a decorative base layer for your dinnerware. It stays on the table throughout the meal to frame your dinner plates and add a formal, finished look to your place setting.

Yes, but keep in mind that a 12-inch plate is quite large. It works best on standard or large dining tables where you have enough room to space out place settings without them feeling crowded.

While this piece is designed for formal occasions, it is crafted from high-quality porcelain. It is durable, but we recommend hand washing to preserve the finish and prevent potential chips that can occur in a dishwasher.

The beauty of this plate is its versatility. Because it features a clean, minimalist white finish, it is designed to complement almost any pattern, whether you are mixing it with colorful, ornate china or keeping it monochromatic.

Technically, yes, but service plates are primarily decorative. Because they are designed to sit under a dinner plate, they are not typically used for serving food directly, as the rim is often wider and the surface area is intended for layering.
