Glass plate

The plate is one of the central elements of your dinnerware when setting the table. That's why it's essential to choose them carefully and always according to your needs. Duralex®glass plate sets are ideal for everyday use as well as special occasions.

What are the advantages of glass plates?

Made from tempered glass, Duralex® glass plate sets offer both a soft touch and unprecedented brilliance to your tableware. Their rapid cooling technique also provides excellent resistance to impact - around 6 times greater than that of non-tempered glass.

Another undeniable advantage is their light weight: you can easily handle a stack of dinner plates, soup plates or dessert plates ideal for setting or serving a table quickly, even for a large number of guests. All of them are stackable, making them easy to store on your shelves and in your cupboards.

Last but not least, tempered glass is a non-porous material that prevents dirt from becoming embedded, and is easy to clean with a sponge or in the dishwasher. As a result, clear or colored glass plates also prevent the growth of bacteria on their surface, an undeniable hygienic advantage over stoneware or ceramics.

What are the different types of plate?

Duralex® glass plates come in a multitude of shapes and styles. To begin with, you'll be able to choose between different sizes of models: sets of flat or soup plates between 23 and 28 cm diameter, and sets of small plates between 19 and 23cm.

In addition to the dimensions, you'll also need to choose the shape of the plate, between the timeless design of the Lys models and the beveled curves of the Le Picardie®range. A final factor to consider is the color of the product: transparent glass plates transparent or glass plates colored in blue, orange, green or gray.

How to use your glass plates?

Duralex® plate sets will accompany you throughout your meal. The brand offers a whole range of models that can be used both as plates and as dishes, to present appetizers before the meal, for example.

Once at the table, you'll have the opportunity to use the smaller models for starters, then the larger plates for the main course: flat pieces to create a pretty presentation of your latest recipe, or hollow ones to accommodate a dish in sauce, a salad or a risotto. Finally, for dessert, small plates return, either identical to or different from the collection used for starters.

What are the rules of presentation for your glass plates?

For a flawless presentation, start with a presentation plate, which will serve as a support for the others and will only be removed when the cheese is served.
