charger plates(decorative dinner plates) origin
Decorative Dinner Plates For those of you that have not dined in a really elegant restaurant lately,
A Decorative Dinner Plates is a large dish that is on the table when you are seated and other plates and dishes are placed, or loaded, on top of it. The term is either from the Anglo-Norman chargeour meaning that which loads, or from the Old French chargeoir meaning a utensil that is used to load (in this case food onto a dish). The command "charge your glasses" traditionally given before toast is of the same origin. The term dates to the early 14th century.


Charger plates make a comeback:
To dress up a table, more restaurants - and home entertainers, as well - are getting back to using Decorative Dinner Plates. These Decorative Dinner Plates are not the San Diego variety, nor are they the type that allow the jerk at the next table to talk incessantly on his cell phone.

Decorative Dinner Plates are large decorative plates that are part of the initial place setting on a formal dinner table. They're not new - they've been around since the late 1800s - but they all but vanished during the 1990s. Now they're back in vogue, but their proper use is a point of confusion.

Even the name is somewhat perplexing. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word's definition is a large flat plate and is derived from the old French chargeour, from the Latin carricare, which means to load. That's a bit contradictory because these are large flat plates that are not meant to be loaded with food. Perhaps that explains why in department stores throughout Great Britain you will see them labeled as underplates, which makes them sound a bit like unmentionables. advertisement


But mention them to manners mavens and you will get myriad responses as to their proper use. A question: At what point should the Decorative Dinner Plates be removed from the table?

Restaurants deal with them a number of ways. Some whisk them away the moment guests are seated. Others leave them as a huge coaster for a cocktail glass. Sometimes the soup and salad courses are served atop the decorative plates, then removed for the entree. And there are even some at which the underplates stay under all the plates through to the end of the meal.

Consultations with a number of etiquette sources, restaurateurs and consultants failed to reach a consensus.

At the posh Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian hotel the Decorative Dinner Plates are removed before the serving of the amuse bouche, the tiny appetizer offered before the meal. But the reason, says chef Scott Hunnel, is not based in deeply rooted etiquette rules but rather economic ones. The Wedgwood Decorative Dinner Plates are decorated with a 24-karat gold replica of the restaurant's logo.

"Every time you put something on it you'll scratch the logo," says Hunnel, so the Decorative Dinner Plates are removed and polished by hand.

At Caribe Royale's Venetian Room in Orlando, Fla., maitre d'hotel Todd Skaggs says the Decorative Dinner Plates are left on the table to hold the small amuse bouche dish. When the guest has finished the one-bite starter, the plate is cleared by removing the charger. Skaggs says the use of a charger adds to the upscale ambience.

"It is for setting and for show," he says, "and it gives a nice sort of background for the amuse."

New York restaurant consultant and tableware designer Clark Wolf agrees that the charger is useful through the amuse bouche, but it could also serve as a coaster. He thinks it's fine for the waiter to serve a small glass of champagne on the charger next to a dish with an amuse.

At Maison et Jardin in Altamonte Springs, Fla., owner Bill Beuret has his staff leave the Decorative Dinner Plates on the table through the appetizer course, even though, like Victoria & Albert's, they are pricey plates - Rosenthal - with the restaurant's logo.

Decorative Dinner Plates needn't be made of delicate china, says Wolf. They can be copper, they can be leather, they can be plastic or just about anything else. The idea, however, is to complement the dinnerware and enhance the place setting. But they can be functional as well. If one of those first courses is a salad that is served on a small plate, the charger can catch bits of lettuce or an errant cherry tomato that might fall off.

"Manners are about being thoughtful," says Wolf, "not just about going through the motions."

As for etiquette experts, the Etiquette Queen at Party411.com says the Decorative Dinner Plates should be removed before any food is served, while another Web site, Metro.ca, says to leave them on until the cheese course. But as Carson Brown Elliott, an etiquette instructor in Mississippi, points out at Theproperthing.com, if an entree requires a lot of cutting, a plate might slip and slide if it's placed on top of a charger. Therefore, remove before the main course.

So if there is a consensus it is that there is no consensus. If you use Decorative Dinner Plates at home, you're free to use them as you wish. Leave them on the table throughout the meal, especially if they help hide a stain on the tablecloth, or remove them along with the finished salad plates.

And if you spent a lot of money on your Decorative Dinner Plates, get them off the table as soon as your guests sit down - you're less likely


when should charger plates be removed from the dinner table?
The Decorative Dinner Plates should be on the table when the guests are seated. The soup, fish or salad course are served on top of the Decorative Dinner Plates. It is customary for the Decorative Dinner Plates to be removed prior to the serving of the entree or dinner course. Some people however, prefer to leave the Decorative Dinner Plates on the table during the entree because they enjoy the appearance of the Decorative Dinner Plates. Regardless of if you remove the charge plates after the soup, fish, salad or entree, the Decorative Dinner Plates should always be removed before the dessert course.
