Collection: Plates & Platters

Serve starters, sweets and celebrations in style - platters and plates made for the art of hosting.

From Chai-Time Snacks to Festive Feasts - Stylish Serving Platters for Every Spread

A beautiful platter is where every good gathering begins. It is the first thing your guests reach for and the piece that quietly sets the tone for the whole table. At Whites & Pastels, our plates and platters bring together embossed porcelain, gleaming gold stainless steel and elegant tiered stands - all in our signature palette of whites, soft pastels and warm gold. From a serving platter set for Diwali mithai to snack plates for evening chai, every piece is designed to make food look as good as it tastes.

Whether you are laying out kebabs and dips for a cricket watch party, arranging dry fruits for guests during the festive season or plating a slice of cake for a birthday, the right platter turns serving into styling. Explore snack plates, dessert plates, chip and dip platters, sushi platters, gold steel plates, cake stands and cheese boards - stylish serving platters for every occasion.

Why Serving Platters Matter on Your Table

Plates and platters do far more than hold food. A generous platter lets you serve family-style, so guests help themselves and conversation flows. Sectioned and chip-and-dip platters keep flavours apart - no chutney running into your pakoras. Tiered stands add height, which makes even a simple spread look abundant. And a statement platter, whether gold steel or white embossed porcelain, becomes a centrepiece that carries your table from lunch to late-night dessert.

Types of Plates & Platters at Whites & Pastels

Serving Platters by Material

Porcelain & Ceramic Platters

Porcelain and ceramic serving platters are the heart of our collection. Their embossed European and French designs - lotus, cherry blossom, scalloped rims - bring heirloom elegance to everyday meals. The European Embossed Snack Plate and Black & White Dinner & Snack Plates are hosting staples, while the Cherry Blossom Dessert Bowl & Plate Set and Lotus Dessert Bowl & Plate Set are perfect for serving sweets. The Cherry Blossom set is microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe, making it as practical as it is pretty.

Gold Stainless Steel Platters & Gold Plates

For a look that feels both royal and modern, nothing beats gold. Our gold plates are made from food-grade stainless steel with a matt gold PVD finish, and they are dishwasher safe. The Gold Steel Plates come in four sizes - from a 5.5-inch snack plate to a 12-inch dinner plate - while the 304 Gold Steel Plates, made from 304-grade steel, weigh heavier than 201-grade plates of the same size, ideal for a complete gold plate set. Serve starters on the Hammered Snack Platter, dumplings and dips on the Gold Chip & Dip Platter, or festive dry fruits on the hammered steel Scalloped Snack Plates Set of 2. For a complete Indian meal, the Gold Thali Dinner Set is a showstopper.

Wooden Boards & Glass Serveware

Wood brings warmth to a platter spread. Our Cheese Board Set of 6 includes gold cheese knives and a dip bowl, and the Cheese Knife Set with Foldable Charcuterie Board is a round wooden box that doubles as a charcuterie board, with a hidden compartment for its four gold cheese knives - perfect for wine evenings. For desserts, the Glass Dessert Plate with Cloche keeps a slice of cake or a cheese wheel beautifully on display.

Snack Plates & Snack Platter Sets

Snack plates are the most versatile pieces in any Indian home - think cookies with evening chai, samosas for unexpected guests or a small bowl of namkeen at a kitty party. Our French embossed Lotus and Cherry Blossom snack plates are just six inches wide, perfect for individual servings, while the Gold Snack Tray with Heart Bowls makes a ready-to-serve snack platter set - or snack serving tray - for chakhna and dips. Looking for a serving platter for snacks that keeps dips separate? The Ceramic Chip & Dip Plate has a built-in dip section.

Cake Stands, Tiered Stands & Dessert Plates

A cake stand gives your desserts the spotlight they deserve. Our Cake Stand & Cupcake Holder comes in 2-tier and 3-tier options with a scalloped edge, and doubles as a cupcake stand or a tiered platter for sandwiches at high tea. For a monochrome look, try the Black & White Two-Tier Cake Stand. Tiered stands save table space and add height to a buffet - ideal for birthdays, baby showers and festive dessert tables.

Cheese Platters & Charcuterie Boards

A cheese platter is the easiest way to host with flair. Start with a wooden board, add three kinds of cheese - soft, semi-hard and hard - and fill the gaps with grapes, crackers, nuts and olives. Keep a separate knife for each cheese - our Cheese Knife Set with Foldable Charcuterie Board includes a cheese spade knife for hard cheeses, a chisel knife for breaking firm cheese, a cheese fork and a narrow plane knife for semi-soft cheeses - or browse more cheese knife sets, and serve wine alongside our bar accessories. The Wine & Cheese Gift Hamper brings it all together in one gift box.

How to Style Your Table with Serving Platters

Setting out a snack serving platter or a full buffet? Follow these simple styling tips:

• Anchor the centre: place the largest platter or a tiered stand in the middle of the table first.
• Add dips before food: set dip bowls on your platter first, then arrange finger food around them.
• Balance colour: white porcelain makes colourful food pop; gold platters add warmth to neutral dishes.
• Vary heights: mix flat platters with a footed bowl on a gold stand and a cake stand.
• Leave breathing room: keep some space between platters so guests can reach easily.
• Layer textures: place platters on a butler tray or runner to finish the look.

Plates & Platters as Gifts

A serving platter set is a thoughtful housewarming or wedding gift - it is used at every celebration and remembered each time. Gift-ready picks such as the Gold Snack Tray with Heart Bowls, the Heart Snack Cone with Gold Stand and our cheese board sets make lovely Diwali gifts. Explore more in our gifting collection.

Care Tips for Platters & Plates

Care varies by material, so always check the product page. Here is what our product details recommend:

• Gold Steel Plates: dishwasher safe. Clean gently with a soft sponge - never harsh, abrasive steel wool - and wipe dry immediately after washing to avoid water stains on the gold finish.
• Cherry Blossom Dessert Bowl & Plate Set: microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe.
• Cheese knives with the foldable charcuterie board: dishwasher safe on the top rack only; store the wooden board in a moisture-resistant place.
