Appetizer Plates

Appetizer Plates

Sushi, small bites, antipasto, hors d'oeuvres—whatever you call that tasty pre-dinner treat, our appetizer plates are the vessels you need to get munching. When hosting friends and family, scatter the dishes throughout the party area, making sure guests in the kitchen, dining room, living room and patio have a chance to try whatever appetizer you’ve prepared. Too many people to ensure everyone is served? Line dishes along the kitchen counter or cluster together on the island so guests can form a line. Both round and square appetizer plates look clean, minimal and modern. Contemporary form plus bold, funky colors practically begs for food styling experimentation. Put all that cooking show knowledge to work and coordinate snacks with plate style. Serving something drippy like an oil-based bruschetta? Look for dishes with a slight rim to minimize spillage. When using appetizer plates as salad plates in your table setting, be sure to coordinate with the main dinnerware and flatware, as well as the table linens.
