Be A Plate Etiquette Pro

Eating from or serving on the wrong plate can be a dining etiquette faux pas. The right tableware helps set the tone by coordinating the meal's visual features and the event's general premise. Needless to say, it is essential to understand the many types and functions of ceramic plates. This knowledge helps while attending formal or special events.
