Contemporary Porcelain Plate
The Pordamsa Galaxy Plate 18cm is a contemporary porcelain plate designed to give smaller dishes a clean, considered presentation. Part of Pordamsa’s Galaxy Collection, its glossy finish and distinctive modern shape provide plenty of room for creative plating while keeping the overall look simple and refined.
At 18cm, it sits neatly between a tasting plate and a full-size dinner plate, making it particularly useful for starters, desserts, small plates, side dishes and individual portions. The uncluttered surface works beautifully with colourful sauces, carefully arranged garnishes and modern restaurant-style plating, but it is equally at home serving a slice of cake or something simple alongside coffee.

What courses are best served on an 18cm plate?
An 18cm plate is particularly useful for starters, desserts, side dishes and smaller individual courses. Its compact dimensions can also help create a more deliberate presentation when serving tasting-menu and small-plate dishes.
How does plate size affect food presentation?
The amount of empty space surrounding food can significantly change how a dish looks. A smaller plate naturally frames modest portions more closely, helping individual components feel intentional rather than appearing lost across a large dinner plate.
Can different sizes from the same tableware collection be used together?
Yes. Combining different plate sizes from one collection is an effective way to create consistency across multiple courses while still giving each dish an appropriately sized surface. The Galaxy range can therefore be used to build a coordinated contemporary table setting.
