bread plate
Small butter dish
A bread plate is a small plate, typically six to seven inches across, placed to the left of the main dinner setting for bread and butter.
At formal meals, remembering which bread plate is yours prevents the awkward reach across a neighbor's place setting.
The waiter cleared the bread plates before the main course.
