Villeroy & BochManoir 37 cm Oval Platter

Received two as a gift several years ago. Excellent large plates or platters. Not bright white but slightly off-white. Well-made (as you'd expect from this brand) and fairly sturdy but treat as fragile e.g. if soaking in the sink be careful handling as they can get very slippery.The plates are decorative but without a pattern, so they don't look fussy and are thus good for everyday use as well as entertaining. The plain colour means they're all about displaying the food. The "neutral" colour means I can use them with any crockery, patterned or otherwise.I use them to serve meats and salads, and when entertaining. I also use them for fish 'n' chip takeaways as a "standard" takeway portion is large! - one plate fits on a standard-size lap-tray for a tv dinner :-)They're large for handwashing in the sink so I rough-wash them then pop them in the dishwasher. They lean over as they're too tall so I put a small plate in the slot in front of them so that they can't fall.
