Large Plates

These are Esplanda large plates, sold as merchandise rather than as a drink. The listing gives no material, diameter, finish or pack size, so check those on the product page before you count on a particular fit or care routine. In general, a large plate is the size you'd use for a main course, a shared appetizer spread, or a platter of cheese, cured meats, olives and bread. The extra surface lets food sit apart without crowding. If you're setting out food to go with drinks, a large plate suits a tasting-style spread. You can lay out sliced cheeses, charcuterie, nuts and fruit so guests can graze between pours. It also works for plated meals served alongside wine or beer, since a wide rim leaves room for sauces and garnishes. Expect to hand-wash or machine-wash depending on the material, which the product details don't state, so confirm the care instructions before first use.
