The plate measures 228.6 mm, or 9 inches, in diameter. Its size and classic French Rim design make it specifically suited for serving soups or pasta in a formal dining setting.
While the plate is food-safe and durable enough for dining, its formal design and delicate nature make it better suited for special occasions rather than daily, heavy-duty use.
