Perfect for garlic bread at dinner! Also nice that you can put the set on the table right next to the bread basket.Best Deals for Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection 6-Inch Stoneware Plates
If you set out a snack tray for guests, one or two sets of these small plates is a perfect solution (or even more sets depending on how many you entertain.)First off, though, is you need to be aware of the size or you may be disappointed. Six inches is about the diameter of a coffee cup saucer. Tiny by some standards, but not for snacks. Depending on your cultural reference, these are near perfect whether you call snacks tapas, mezze, antipasti, hors d'oeuvres ... or snacks.
Second, even for small gatherings one set of six plates may not be enough. Guests always seem to set down the first plate they finish and go back for more using a new one.
What I love is the serving caddy, which adds a touch of class and convenience to the spread. But it's the price and choice of colors that also make this set a bargain. I own the white ones, which suit my decor and makes the presentation more attractive in my opinion. However, let your imagination inspire you to go wild because you have choices.
Another thing I love is these are stoneware instead of some cheap plastic. As such they are easy to care for, and can actually be safely used with hot foods.
If your spread includes items like salsa, bruschetta, hummus, caponata or other dips or spreads, you may want to also check out the companion dipping bowls: Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection 5-Inch Stoneware Dipping Bowls with Serving Caddy, Ivory Antiqued Finish, Set of 6.
Shop around and I think you will discover that for the price these are a bargain. Just take out a tape or ruler and measure a saucer to get an idea of the relative size if you are unfamiliar with standard snack dish sizes before placing your order.
Honest reviews on Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection 6-Inch Stoneware Plates
These six inch dishes appear to be a bit small, so are probably not good for a dinner salad but would be great for bread and butter or dessert. The rod iron holder is very convienient to carry the plates to the table for serving, but required some reorganization of my cupboards to store it all together.I was going to get the individual place settings of dishes that matched these but it turned out to be less costly to buy this set of six 6' plates, a set of six 11' plates and the utility 20 ounce bowl set of six than it would have been to buy just four sets of the individual place settings.
I was worried there might be some coloration differences between the sets but there was not. Everything matched very nicely. The color is more a dark red than a ruby red, but that was fine with me.
