servingware
Platters and bowls
Servingware is dishes, platters, bowls, and utensils used to present and serve food at the table—distinct from both cookware and the plates people eat from.
The category includes serving spoons, tongs, gravy boats, and similar items: We registered for servingware at three different stores.
