Famiware Star Salad Plates for 6

A supper salad goes on this plate, or a wedge of quiche with a forkful of slaw beside it. At lunch it holds a sandwich and a handful of chips, or a piece of fruit and a slice of cheese. Eight inches across, it is the plate you reach for when a dinner plate would look too big and a bread plate too small.

Six plates, one for each place. That is the arithmetic of a table set for six: you put one down at every seat and you do not run short when the last guest sits. They stack two high without worrying the glaze, and they come in five glazes so you can pick the one that fits your table. It is the plate you reach for when you are not sure what to use.
