10 inches is the standard dinner plate size for a reason: it holds a main course with its accompaniments without food crowding to the rim, and it is the size most serving and presentation advice assumes. These are bone china — lighter, thinner and stronger than standard ceramic, and fine enough that light shows through the rim — in plain white, which is the finish professional kitchens use because it shows food colour honestly and never competes with what is on it. Six plates covers a full table, and a plain white set is the one purchase in a kitchen that will still look right in twenty years.

Buying guide
Plain white is the most extendable tableware there is — you can add pieces from almost any range over years and they will broadly match, which is impossible with a patterned or coloured set. Warm plates before serving hot food, since a cold plate takes real heat out of a meal. Stack with a cloth or paper between them, as grinding wears a rim first. Wash over a cloth rather than against a steel sink. Bone china is stronger than it looks but should be hand washed to keep the surface bright.
How it compares
Against patterned plates, plain white never dates, extends easily and shows food honestly. Against standard ceramic, bone china is lighter and finer. For young children, a more robust everyday set is the sensible choice.
