ceramic plates

Kiln-hardened serving surfaces

Ceramic plates are dishes made from clay hardened by heat, used for serving food.

The term distinguishes them from paper, plastic, or metal alternatives: We registered for ceramic plates instead of melamine.

In body armor, ceramic plates are rigid inserts worn in tactical vests to stop bullets—the material shatters on impact, dispersing energy.
