Yanco MO-106BK Moderne Melamine 6" x 4-1/2" Triangle Plate, Black — Case of 48 (4 dz)

Matte black changes what a 6" x 4-1/2" triangle is good for. The dark ground swallows reflections, so pale food reads with sharp contrast: whipped goat cheese, a quenelle of sorbet, blanched almonds, a single scallop. At a quarter inch of rim lift this plate carries dry and lightly dressed items rather than anything that pools.

Specifiers reach for the black version when a venue wants the table to recede and the food to sit forward, and the two colourways share a mould so a kitchen can run black for evening covers and white at brunch without changing how anything stacks. Melamine keeps the weight down for staff carrying four or five at once across a dining room.
