Plate and Platters: A Range to Choose From

India is a beautiful country where food is not only served to whet one's appetite. Here, food is regarded as a means of welcoming guests who are held in high esteem in Indian culture like many other Asian Cultures. Serving plates and platters have come to be popular and take up the wider use in today's world but there was no such distinction in ancient times. A plate had a traditional name, size, shape, and design. In today's modern world everything is brought to the doorstep through a couple of clicks of the mouse. The same way, plates, and platters online are available. India is a culturally rich country where even today there are artisans who can make handicraft products and that may include stylish serving platters, serving platter set and ceramic platters, and plates aside from made of other materials. These products are born out of love and affection and it is believed in the Indian household that food is close to being spiritual that needs regard and respect and a lot of care and compassion.

Food Styling and Plates

Food styling and food design go hand in hand. Dining space is regarded in many homes, not only in India but in many countries of the world as the most important place. In traditional homes it is looked upon as auspicious also and consuming food is a kind of ritual when the whole family gathers together to sit around the table with the head of the family presiding the affair. Style and design of utensils and serving trays including small articles like the salt and pepper shaker and kullads depend on the aesthetic taste of the family and the homemaker.

The meal table plays a central role with the family spending a lot of money on purchasing a choice table with matching tablecloth and other tastefully decorated accessories. The table design itself includes different design elements that exude warmth and create a satisfying experience of having one’s meal.

What a Plate Is?

A plate is broad, slightly concave, a flat vessel that is used to serve food. A plate has other ceremonial utilities as well like during the worship at the temple where prasad is placed on it to offer to the deity. Plates are mostly circular. But, other shapes like square or rectangle cannot be eliminated. Plates in the ancient times used to have highly raised edges to contain curry and pulses along with the main course. Plates are also made of wood, pottery and metal and their origin dates back to antiquity. Ceramic platters and plates are not to be found in every home. They are exclusive in so far as their availability in the homestead is subject to the class of the family and their unique taste. Their application is sometimes restricted to some special guests or occasions.

Plate and Platter

A plate is a specific dish from which the food is had or it is used to serve food. If the food is not liquid and it does not have a tendency to flow away, a plate is suitable. Liquid food is kept in katoris and tumblers or ceramic bowls.
