Glossy, white, and sleekly modern, the porcelain Gourmet Collection from Rosenthal displays cuisine of all types-from Szechuan shrimp to quiche Lorraine -to full advantage. Moreover, the eye-popping array of shapes allows for a unique customization of any table. Square, triangular, crescent-shaped, and rectangular pieces augment the more traditional round and oval ones, while a whimsically tall latte cup and nesting pinball salt-and-pepper shakers add a touch of the unexpected. This collection is sure to spark the imagination of the home chef.
The 10-1/4-inch dinner plate is the most common option for the center of the place setting. Average in size with a traditional rim, the plate is identical in form to the salad and bread-and-butter plates. Other options include a slightly larger 11-1/8-inch dinner plate and a 10-inch plate with a wider-than-normal rim. Rosenthal, one of Germany's most prestigious porcelain manufacturers with a commitment to innovative design, makes the wide range of Gourmet Collection dinnerware and serving ware conveniently safe for both the microwave and dishwasher. --Ann Bieri
