Side Plates
Side plates are smaller plates typically used to accompany a main dish in a meal. They are designed to hold smaller portions of food such as salads, appetizers, or bread. Side plates are usually placed to the left of the main dinner plate and are commonly used in formal dining settings as well as casual meals. These plates come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, ranging from ceramic and porcelain to glass and metal. Side plates are versatile and can add a decorative touch to a table setting while also serving a functional purpose.
