For the longest time we have had plain white dinner plates. They go with everything and display food brilliantly but they are just a little... boring.
I'd been looking for new main course dinner plates for a long time but couldn't find any that I really liked - actually that's a lie - I could but they were ridiculously expensive.
I knew what I didn't want... I didn't want anything that was too arty, crafty, pottery looking but also I didn't want something that looked like it would be at home at a sit down wedding reception i.e. fine china trimmed in gold/silver.
I wanted plates that were 10 or 11 inches with an indentation so they could hold sauces. I wanted something that wasn't too formal but that I could use for guests as well as everyday and they had to go in the dishwasher.
Finally I found plates that ticked all my boxes. A selection of Emma Bridgewater designs and I am really pleased with them. They are fun with colorful designs that pep up the dinner table. (I bought a selection of designs that I could mix and match.)They are very good quality and are sturdy without being too thick.
I bought them direct from emmabridgewater.co.uk
Most of the dinner plates are around $30.00 full price depending on the design but there is also an outlet section that has 'seconds' for around $20.00 (I bought some regularly priced plates and some seconds). Also, I hunted around and found an online discount code that gave me free shipping and a discount on the full priced plates.
If you are in the market for new tableware or want a housewarming or hostess gift why not take a look? There are plenty of items and designs to choose from - I'm sure there's something that will tempt you!
