Rosenthal Gourmet Collection 10-1/2-Inch Gourmet Rectangular Plate

Glossy, white, and sleekly modern, the porcelain Gourmet Collection from Rosenthal displays cuisine of all types-from Szechuan shrimp to quiche Lorraine -to full advantage. Moreover, the eye-popping array of shapes allows for a unique customization of any table. Square, triangular, crescent-shaped, and rectangular pieces augment the more traditional round and oval ones, while a whimsically tall latte cup and nesting pinball salt-and-pepper shakers add a touch of the unexpected. This collection is sure to spark the imagination of the home chef. The smaller of two rectangular plates from the collection, this one measures 10-1/2 inches in length, the ideal size for serving a side dish or dessert, or for serving as a unique substitute dinner plate. The rimmed, rectangular shape neatly frames a trout filet, lamb kabobs, and other foods that present best on an elongated form. Rosenthal, one of Germany\'s most prestigious porcelain manufacturers with a commitment to innovative design, makes the wide range of Gourmet Collection dinnerware and serving ware conveniently safe for both the microwave and dishwasher. --Ann Bieri (Amazon)
