Slant Rectangular Platter – Architectural Design for Dynamic Presentations
The Slant Rectangular Platter from Cameo China’s Square collection represents a bold evolution in serving vessel design with distinctive slanted walls that create dimensional visual interest and architectural framing for culinary presentations. Available in three graduated sizes—707-93 (9 in x 5-3/4 in) for individual service, 707-103 (10 in x 6-1/4 in) for standard portions, and 707-123 (12-1/4 in x 7-1/2 in) for impressive shared platters—this innovative collection transforms ordinary plating into three-dimensional statements that capture attention and elevate every presentation. Crafted from premium vitrified china with an alumina body and brilliant white glaze, the angled walls provide practical benefits by containing sauces and preventing spillage while creating natural boundaries that organize components and support architectural plating concepts with leaning elements and height. The modern rectangular profile with precisely formed slanted walls ensures visual continuity across all sizes, making this collection ideal for coordinated presentations that maintain cohesive aesthetic identity.
Traditional Applications
This slanted platter collection excels in classic service concepts where visual impact enhances the dining experience. The compact 707-93 provides perfect proportions for individual appetizer presentations—bruschetta arranged in linear fashion, spring rolls displayed with precision, or skewers presented in organized rows—while also supporting refined individual entrée service and elegant sushi presentations with six to eight pieces arranged linearly. The versatile 707-103 accommodates standard entrée portions with room for creative garnishing, shared appetizer presentations for two to four guests, and more elaborate sushi or sashimi arrangements, while the impressive 707-123 enables family-style entrée presentations, elaborate sushi and sashimi displays for sharing, and impressive dessert platters with assorted pastries or chocolate selections. The slanted walls create natural framing that draws the eye toward plated elements while providing structural interest that elevates simple preparations, containing sauces and garnishes while the angled profile adds dimensional depth to flat presentations across all meal periods from breakfast service to dessert courses.
Creative Applications
Contemporary culinary professionals are discovering innovative applications that leverage the architectural interest of slanted walls for modern plating concepts. The angled sides provide natural support for leaning elements where proteins can be propped at dramatic angles, vegetables arranged in ascending patterns that follow wall contours, and garnishes positioned to create height and dimension, transforming flat presentations into three-dimensional compositions. Creative sauce applications gain new possibilities as chefs pool sauces at the base where walls meet the platter floor, paint sauce up slanted walls to create gradient effects, or apply multiple sauces in parallel lines that follow the rectangular profile for striking color contrasts. Deconstructed dish presentations benefit from the linear format where components occupy distinct zones with slanted walls creating visual separation while maintaining cohesive presentation, enabling interactive dining where guests customize their experience. Tasting menu concepts gain maximum visual impact when the 707-93 supports individual courses with architectural framing that draws attention to carefully composed elements, while charcuterie and cheese boards receive modern interpretation on the 707-103 and 707-123 with organized arrangements where slanted walls create natural boundaries and prevent items from sliding. The collection also elevates breakfast and brunch service with the 707-93 supporting individual presentations, the 707-103 accommodating shared breakfast for two, and the 707-123 enabling impressive brunch platters with assorted pastries, fruit arrangements, or build-your-own concepts where the slanted walls contain syrups and create architectural interest that transforms casual service into memorable presentations.
