Ceramic & Porcelain Dining Plates
A well-designed plate provides a stable, practical surface for eating. Siphorahq’s collection of dining plates focuses on functional geometry: a flat center to prevent food from sliding, and an appropriately angled rim to contain sauces and gravies. We offer plates in both ceramic and porcelain, featuring neutral tones and minimalist designs. Our goal is to provide reliable tableware that functions efficiently for daily meals while maintaining a clean aesthetic for hosting.
Choosing Plate Sizes
Our collection is categorized by standard sizing to help you build a complete set.
*Dinner Plates (10 - 11 inches):* The primary plate for main courses. We design these with a wide central surface area to accommodate multiple dishes at once, a common requirement in Indian dining.
*Salad / Quarter Plates (7 - 8 inches):* Ideal for side salads, appetizers, or desserts. These are also highly practical for smaller breakfasts or serving snacks with tea.
When setting a table, layering a quarter plate on top of a dinner plate is a simple way to organize courses. You can match the colors exactly, or introduce a contrast by pairing a porcelain dinner plate with a ceramic side plate.
About this Collection
Ceramic vs. Porcelain Plates
The material you choose affects how you use the plates.
Ceramic plates are robust and slightly thicker. They handle daily dishwasher cycles well and have a substantial feel.
Porcelain plates are fired hotter, making them denser but allowing them to be crafted thinner. They are lighter to carry and offer a smooth finish.
Care and Handling
While our plates are designed for regular use, ceramic and porcelain can break if dropped or subjected to thermal shock. When storing plates, stacking them carefully prevents the unglazed bottom ring of one plate from scratching the glazed surface of the plate below it. All our standard plates are dishwasher and microwave safe. Please refer to our Care Instructions for specific guidance on plates with metallic rims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will using knives scratch the plates?
Our plates are finished with a durable glaze designed for standard dining cutlery. Over time, you may notice gray marks—these are typically metal deposits from the cutlery, not scratches in the glaze, and can be removed with ceramic cleaner.
Are the plates completely flat on the bottom?
Our plates feature a small, unglazed ring on the bottom which provides stability on the table and allows them to be stacked safely.
Are your plates microwave safe?
Yes, our standard ceramic and porcelain plates are safe for microwave use. However, any plate with gold or metallic detailing must not be microwaved.
