Rim Plate – Where Classic Design Meets Comprehensive Sizing
The Imperial White Rim Plate collection represents a complete and versatile plate program, featuring eight progressive sizes—5″, 6-1/4″, 7-1/4″, 8-1/4″, 9-1/4″, 10-1/4″, 11″, and 12″. Combined with a classic rimmed design, the collection delivers presentation solutions for every dining application, from bread and butter service to charger plates and large sharing platters.
The raised rim provides both aesthetic and functional benefits, creating a defined plating area that frames food presentations while offering a practical edge for easy handling and efficient stacking. This comprehensive size range makes the collection ideal for establishments seeking cohesive plate programs that support diverse needs—from small appetizers and composed entrées to family-style sharing—while maintaining a unified, timeless tabletop aesthetic. As part of the extensive Imperial White collection, these rim plates integrate seamlessly with complementary pieces to create distinctive and adaptable tabletop programs across cuisines and dining styles.
The eight progressive sizes offer exceptional flexibility: 5″ plates are well suited for bread and butter service and small appetizers; 6-1/4″ and 7-1/4″ plates support appetizers and salads; 8-1/4″ plates provide ideal luncheon sizing; 9-1/4″ plates accommodate standard dinner service; 10-1/4″ plates support generous entrées; 11″ plates are ideal for family-style platters and steak presentations; and 12″ plates function effectively as chargers and large sharing platters. Crafted from premium Imperial White china, the collection balances durability with refined aesthetics suitable for professional foodservice environments.
Traditional Applications
The Imperial White Rim Plate collection performs reliably across traditional foodservice applications, including bread and butter service, appetizer and salad courses, dessert presentations, luncheon service, and standard dinner service. Larger sizes support family-style dining, buffet service, and charger plate programs, allowing operators to build complete plate programs from bread plates through dinner plates and chargers while maintaining consistent presentation across all courses.
Creative Applications
The classic rim profile also supports creative and contemporary plating styles. The rim serves as a natural frame for composed presentations, sauce work, and garnish placement, providing visual structure while enhancing artistic expression. Larger sizes are well suited for charcuterie and cheese boards, sharing platters, tasting menus, and tableside presentations, while smaller sizes support tapas-style dining, dessert showcases, and refined small-plate concepts. Across both traditional and innovative dining formats, the Rim Plate collection provides a flexible foundation that balances timeless design with modern presentation needs.
