Dinnerware Education

The Firing Process
The firing process used for china determines how chip-resistant and durable your ceramic or porcelain china will be. Understanding the process will help you determine the appropriate china for your needs.
Knowing the Types
In order to get the most for your money you should understand how different types of china are made. The type of clay used, the firing process and the appearance of the china will determine the cost and durability.
Understanding Rim Styles
Choosing a rim style for the china will be important when determining the overall look of the tabletop design.

Plates made from plastic, known as melamine, are ideal for those that need a nearly indestructible product that can come in many different shapes and colors. For full-service dinners, ceramic dinnerware is available that can be patterned like fine china, have a metal rim or be basic white in color. Dinnerware made from woven wood finds its way into bars, picnics or several other venues to create a fun, party-like atmosphere.

To increase the visual appeal of a table setting, many establishments place a large plate, called a charger, underneath the dinner plate. Chargers are usually found in upscale eateries or at family holiday dinners. Glass plates are also used to increase the visual appeal of food items and are usually reserved for appetizers or salads. No matter what material you are looking for, you can find the perfect restaurant dinnerware here.
