A deep plate is the most useful shape in a cupboard and the one most kitchens lack. The raised edge means pasta, salad, stew and anything with sauce stays on the plate rather than sliding over the rim — which is exactly the failing of a flat plate and exactly why restaurants serve pasta in a deep dish. At 7 inches these work as generous side plates, starter plates or a main course for a child, which is what makes them multifunctional rather than single-purpose. Strong, durable ceramic handles daily use, and the printed design adds decorative interest to a table without dictating the rest of the setting.

Buying guide
Deep plates are the right shape for anything with sauce or dressing, so they earn their place alongside flat dinner plates rather than replacing them — most kitchens benefit from having both. Warm them before serving hot food if you want it to stay hot. Stack with a cloth between plates, since grinding wears a printed surface and a rim first. Wash over a cloth rather than directly against a steel sink. Avoid thermal shock, and check before microwaving, since decorated ceramics vary in what they tolerate.
How it compares
Against a flat plate, a deep shape keeps pasta, salad and saucy dishes on the plate. Against a bowl, it is wider and easier to eat from with a knife and fork. Against plain plates, a printed design gives an everyday table character.
