Quick answer

Choose the 10.5" Coupe Entree Plate for full dinner portions and the 6" Square Sided Bread Plate for sides, bread, or small plates. The trade-off is serving capacity versus versatility for smaller bites.

Size and serving capacity

The 10.5" Coupe Entree Plate is a full-size dinner plate, designed to hold main courses, generous salads, or hearty pasta. Its gentle curve helps contain sauces and juices, making it practical for everyday meals.

In contrast, the 6" Square Sided Bread Plate is much smaller, ideal for bread, pastries, or a side salad. Its unglazed clay rim adds texture and visual interest, but its compact size limits it to accompaniments or light bites.

Construction and durability

Both plates are made from commercial-grade stoneware, but the Coupe Entree Plate is noticeably thicker to withstand heavy use in restaurants and busy home kitchens. This extra thickness adds weight and durability.

The Square Sided Bread Plate is lighter and more delicate in feel, though still built to last. Its smaller size makes it easy to handle and stack, but it is not designed for the same heavy-duty service as the larger plate.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Coupe Entree Plate – larger capacity: At 10.5 inches, it holds main courses and sides comfortably. Thicker construction means it's heavier but more durable.
  • Square Sided Bread Plate – smaller versatility: At 6 inches, it's best for bread, pastries, or light sides. The unglazed rim adds texture, but it cannot replace a dinner plate for full meals.
  • Which to choose?: If you need a workhorse dinner plate, go with the Coupe Entree Plate. If you want a stylish small plate for bread or appetizers, pick the Square Sided Bread Plate. Many sets include both for flexibility. Consider buying both to cover all serving needs, from dinner to small bites.
