We love plates so much so, we have an entire series called #PlateIt where we buy pretty looking plates to do our food plating. And with the number of plates we were buying, we thought why not pick out some really cool plates sets for you guys that you can buy online. We have picked dessert/snack plates, side/quarter plates, and dinner plate sets that you can buy on LBB as well as from some of our favourite brands.
With inputs from Aakanksha Singh Devi.
Now if you want to add a pop of colour to your dessert serving, this is what you need! This set-of-two from Jasmey Homes is quite large at 10inches (that is the size of a medium Domino’s Pizza!) and can moonlight as a snack platter too. Team LBB has bought a few of these (and other Jasmey Homes plates) and we can vouch for them being quite sturdy too. Not that if you drop it off the table and it will survive, but a few bumps here and there is alright!
LBB Note: Large, dishwasher safe and microwaveable.
Straight out of an old English Castle, these gorgeous hand-painted poppy plates are ideal for an afternoon tea or lunch party. What we love most is that each one is unique because it’s been hand-crafted. Makes it more valuable, we say!
LBB Note: These are good to go into the microwave and dishwasher, but be gentle with them. The ceramic is likely to chip quite quickly.
We love half-and-half colour schemes and this set of four dessert plates from Thevasa comes in a half rustic orange and half off-white finish. They are handmade ceramic plates and you can use them to serve desserts of your choice – tarts to macarons.
LBB Note: These are handwash only.
Brand owner of The Table Fable firmly believes that 'unforgettable stories are made when friends and family gather around a table'. And we’re sure that is Malé quarter plate will kickstart some fun conversations too. In a gentle blue (presumably named for that colour that you’d see at sea, at the Maldivian capital) and with an earthy brown base, you can use this as an official quarter plate, and sneak it onto the table as a serving plate too.
LBB Note: Not only can this set go into the microwave and dishwasher, but this goes into the oven too. So just plate your food, and leave it warm in the oven.
Blue Green, Water Red, Light Purple or Cream, these quarter plates in sets of two from Nestasia are as versatile as they come. We’re going to pick them as quarter plates though, so you can match them with the similarly styled dinner plates. The rims are slightly elevated so don’t worry if you’ve got something slightly runny to serve on it.
LBB Note: You get a set of the same colour, but we highly recommend you get a set of each of the colours for a cheerful table set up!
Willow is one of our favourite tableware brands on LBB and this set of six quarter plates from them is the perfect Insta-worthy quarter plate you can have. We love the olive green-ivory finish and the flower motifs on the wide rim. Use these plates to serve salads, desserts, and small nibbles.
LBB Note: The plates are microwave safe.
Ware Innovation has a range of plates that feature interesting shapes and these Ara plates are one of many cool options. We love the hexagon shape and the off-white finish. It’s perfect for anyone looking to invest in plates that aren’t round. Plus, if you are like us who are into food styling, these plates are perfect for Instagram and your photoshoots.
LBB Note: These plates are microwave, dishwasher, and oven safe.
If you want your food to do the talking, but the crockery to win supporting cast, then this ceramic Crok Chok set is perfect. The floral, blue, hand-painted plates are good for a modern set-up as they are for a traditional one, but just make sure you pair them with the right napkins.
LBB Note: These can go into the microwave and dishwasher too. Plus, they are fairly scratch resistant and don’t chip easily as they are double fired at 1200 degrees to make them solid.
You can probably tell that we really like the merch from Crok Chok. We picked this set of blue, hand-glazed studio pottery plates not only because they’re so slick looking, but because they apparently retain heat so your food doesn’t get cold quickly. The glazed effect also ensures that the plates are more durable and don’t chip quickly.
LBB Note: These are also suited to be put into the microwave and dishwasher, but don’t use a scrubber on these ones. Just soap and water is perfect. Definitely don’t use the metal scrubber that our Indian households so love!
Not the best cook? No problem. Just distract your guests with this gorgeous set of two dinner plates from Lupaava. In a monochrome style, the centre of these striking plates is a little sunflower with the rest of the plate forming a web-like, woven pattern.
LBB Note: Dishwasher and microwave safe, yes.
Fun Fact: If you stare at them long enough, they’re like a hypnotic optical illusion - the little flower in the centre will start to look like it’s the centre of a much, much bigger flower!
Keep things plain and simple with a touch of rustic with these dinner plates from Miah Decor. The cream finish, the ribbed detailing, and the 10-inch size make for the perfect dinner plate. Use them every day or for occasions, either way, you’ve got four plates in this set to use to your fancy.
LBB Note: These plates are microwave and dishwasher safe.
Era India makes dinner plates that are Insta-worthy and can be conversation starters when you bring them out. This set of four plates features a cyan and grey finish in the form of alternating wide concentric circles. We recommend you bring these out when you have guests over, so they can compliment you on your good taste.
LBB Note: These plates are dishwasher and microwave safe.
What if we told you that these plates are not just eco-friendly but also unbreakable? In fact, all the products made by Irida Naturals is unbreakable, lightweight and eco-friendly. This set of four plates are made from wheat straw and are perfect for anyone with butter fingers (read us). They are perfect replacements for those boring melamine plates with floral prints.
LBB Note: These plates are dishwasher and microwave safe.
