Yanco BP-2008 Black Pearl Melamine 8" x 5-1/2" Rectangular Plate, Black — Case of 48 (4 dz)

Eight inches by five and a half, half an inch of profile — a small rectangular plate with the proportions of a tasting piece. A rectangle this narrow puts food in a line, which is why it is used for three bites set out in a row, a pair of spring rolls, or a single piece of fish with a garnish beside it.

The half-inch face is close to flat, so nothing shadows and the plating stays visible from across a table. That shallowness also means it is not the piece for anything loose or wet; Black Pearl's deep rectangles handle that job. Packed 48 to a case, four dozen. Matte black melamine photographs without hot spots, which matters for a plate used in menu presentation, and the moulded rectangle has a soft corner radius that survives being racked edge-on.
