11 in White & Olive Melamine Round Plate

The broad round plate combines a white center, dark looping brushstrokes and an olive accent near the fine rim. The melamine surface combines the light ground with darker markings, so the decoration remains part of the setting around the food. Matching bowls, plates and a tea cup repeat the decoration, while coordinating spoons carry olive accents on their handles.

It measures 11 inches in diameter. Try a main course with several accompaniments or a shared appetizer, leaving a little of the decorated surface visible around the serving. Place the main portion first, then arrange smaller accompaniments around it with space between the ingredients. Serve dipping sauces in a separate dish alongside, and add a rice bowl when the meal includes one. Matching pieces repeat the design through each course. Wooden chopsticks and a clear drinking glass complete the setting.
