porcelain plate

Ceramic serving disc

A porcelain plate is a flat dish made from porcelain—a hard, white, translucent ceramic fired at high temperatures.

Porcelain plates are prized for their delicacy, durability, and elegant appearance, often reserved for formal dining: She arranged the salad on her grandmother's porcelain plates.

The term distinguishes these from everyday stoneware or earthenware dishes.
