This lovely set of plates are shaped in a crescent shape and designed to sit neatly beside dinner plates to hold bones or other unwanted bits away from the diner. They are decorated in a blue floral motif with gold accents on a white background.

How We Would Style Them:
Use these blue and white plates to fit snuggly next to a dinner plate. They were originally used to discard bones, however, we think they would be great to serve rolls. Alternatively, use them at your next dinner party for guests to enjoy passed hors d'oeuvres.
