White Plates: A Must-Have For Any Dinner Table

Let white serveware make your meal the center of attention

We recently sat down with designer Kathryn Ireland, and she listed white plates as a must-have for any dinner table. White plates provide a classic look that allows your food to stand out and be the hero of the table. But not only do white plates make a perfect backdrop for food, they also allow you to mix and match with colorful glasses and napkins to bring your table to life. Check out these white plates to add a crisp look to your dinnerware collection.
