Black Square Melamine Plate with Ridged Base — 1½ in High

Straight raised sides give the IT-5043B black melamine plate a clearly enclosed square serving area. It stands 1½ inches high, with parallel ridges across the base and softly rounded outer corners. The dark finish provides a simple background for sushi, appetizers or the components of a plated course, while the ridged surface adds detail beneath the arrangement.

Place individual pieces in rows or group the parts of a dish within the square center. The upright sides define the border more strongly than a broad, shallow rim, giving the serving a distinct outline at the table. Pair it with square black bowls to repeat the straight-sided forms, or add a round tea cup for a curved contrast. Smooth black plates balance the ridged base, and wooden chopsticks bring warmth beside the dark surface. A separate sauce bowl provides its own place for a dipping accompaniment.
