Warm plates with hot water before serving soup or stew if you want it to stay hot, since a cold ceramic plate takes real heat out of the first serving. Hand wash to protect the gold ring, which dulls under repeated dishwasher cycles. Stack with a cloth between plates, since grinding wears a rim first. Wash over a cloth rather than against a steel sink, as ceramic chips at the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst a deep bowl, a soup plate suits stews and curries served with a starch far better.
