Rosenthal Sanssouci Service Plate

A service plate, or charger, acts as a decorative base for your dinnerware. It stays on the table throughout the meal to frame the plates served on top of it, adding a layer of formality and visual interest to your table setting.

This plate measures 310 mm in diameter. Because of its generous size, it is designed to hold standard dinner plates comfortably while providing a visible decorative border.

While the porcelain itself is durable, the 310 mm diameter is quite large. You should measure your dishwasher racks to ensure it fits upright, or plan to hand wash it to preserve the finish and avoid potential chipping.

The Sanssouci pattern features intricate relief detailing characteristic of the rococo style. While it is elegant, you may need to use a soft brush or cloth to ensure food particles do not settle in the textured edges during cleaning.

While technically possible, service plates are primarily decorative foundations. They are designed to hold other plates rather than food, so they may not be the most practical choice for serving main courses directly.
