Plates for your beautiful table setting

Where to put which plate?

The most important question to ask in setting a table correctly is: where are the dishes, cutlery and glasses placed? Initially, this can lead to confusion when a menu is served, but when you take a closer look it is really effortless. We will help you to become a table setting professional!

How do I set the table properly?

The classic way of setting the table starts with a charger. You start with it and define the seating, it is not used for eating. The dinner plate is placed on top of the charger and the breakfast plate for the starter or the soup bowl on top of it.

The bread plate is positioned to the left of the plates, possibly with a butter knife on top.

When arranging the cutlery: knives are on the right, forks on the left and the pieces are arranged so that you start from the outside and continue towards the inside. Place the dessert fork and spoon above the plates, the spoon on top with the handle to the right, the fork below with the handle to the left.

The glasses are on the right, above the knives, also in order: Water glass, white wine glass, red wine glass.

The perfect plate for every dish 

We help you to choose the right plate for your food. No matter how much effort you put into setting the table, it will be the plates above all that give your table the right look. Don't underestimate the effect of matching tableware, because after all, the visual part is in very important. That's why food tastes much better at a stylishly set table with beautifully shaped plates. Our Tinkalu plates playfully contribute to your table decoration with their organic shape and soft colours.

Which plate for which dish?

There is the right plate for every occasion. Whether for a quick breakfast, an elegant dinner or a snack in between...

Enjoy your breakfast toast on a breakfast plate, present fish or meat on a flat dinner plate and serve pasta or risotto in a deep pasta plate. The colour of the place setting is also important. The classics in beige and grey go with any look, rose, pastel blue and mint with breakfast and tea time, and mixed with each other, our Tinkalu tableware guarantees instant good mood.

Dinner plate

With a classic dinner plate, you can serve any entrée. Dinner plates are the perfect size and offer enough space for main courses with the corresponding side dishes. They are flat with a diameter of 26cm and are used for classic dishes such as fish or roasts, or for substantial salads or vegetable gratins. Set the perfect stage for your fine creations!

Breakfast plate

Breakfast plates, cake plates, dessert plates and appetizer plates are essential for a beautifully laid table. In the morning they are used for breakfast, in the afternoon as cake plates for delicious fruit cakes or creamy tarts and at dinner as antipasti plates for caprese or smoked salmon and later as dessert plates for chocolate cake with a liquid centre or brownies with vanilla ice cream.

Pasta plate

Pasta plates, with their deep shape and slightly raised rim, are ideal for handling pasta dishes. They are also great for creamy risotto, crisp salads, exotic curries, hearty stews and sweet rice pudding.

Charger

Our high-quality chargers are a must for special occasions.

Our chargers are not only used for decoration. Use them also as cake plates, pizza plates and for serving appetisers or colourful salads. 

Is porcelain the best material for plates?

Porcelain is the most common material for plates. Porcelain is durable, does not chip with the slightest hit, is resistant to acids and can be cleaned in the dishwasher without difficulty. Because it is fired at high temperatures, porcelain is ovenproof and can be used for baking and cooking in the oven.

With their amazing colours and trendy design, they are suitable for serving and decorating and bring sophisticated asian understatement to your home.

Gift tip

Our gorgeous porcelain plates also make excellent gifts. Give beautiful plates when your children move into their first own flat or your best friend invites you over. It doesn't always have to be a complete set - a single plate decorated with a pretty sweet is just as nice a gesture and can be continued and extended as desired.
