What the AI looks for in Dessert Plates
- Size
- About 7 to 8.5 inches. Big enough for a slice of cake with a fork, smaller than a dinner plate.
- Decorated vs. plain
- Patterned dessert plates are made to mix with plain dinner plates. Dessert plates are a common place to add pattern without committing a whole set.
- Trim
- Check whether the pattern has metallic trim before planning microwave use. Trim rules out the microwave and often the dishwasher.
Brands that matter
- Lenox: Porcelain and bone china patterns with dessert and accent plates.
- Juliska: Decorative ceramic patterns for mixing and matching.
What to avoid
- Dessert plates with a rim too deep to cut cake against
