Rim Soup – Where Classic Rimmed Design Elevates Refined Soup Service
The Imperial White Rim Soup collection delivers refined solutions for professional soup service, featuring four progressive sizes—6" (2 oz), 7" (4 oz), 8" (6 oz), and 9" (8 oz)—designed with a classic raised rim that frames presentations while defining a controlled serving area. This timeless rimmed profile enhances visual presentation, improves handling, and supports precise portion control, making the collection essential for establishments that value elegance, consistency, and versatility across soup service and small-format courses.
Each size serves a distinct purpose within multi-course and à la carte menus: the 2 oz bowl is ideal for amuse-bouche, tasting menu introductions, and refined opening courses; the 4 oz bowl supports appetizer soups and composed first courses; the 6 oz bowl delivers standard appetizer portions and small entrée soups; and the 8 oz bowl provides generous appetizer or light main-course soup portions. The wide rim creates visual balance and clean presentation, while the shallow profile highlights refined portions and enhances plating precision. Crafted from premium Imperial White china, the collection offers commercial durability with a timeless aesthetic that integrates seamlessly across the complete Imperial White tabletop program.
Traditional Applications
The Imperial White Rim Soup collection excels in classic soup service applications including consommé, clear broths, bisques, chowders, and cream soups, where the raised rim enhances presentation while maintaining traditional service standards. These bowls are well suited for fine dining appetizer soups, hotel and resort dining programs, banquet and event service, and tasting menus requiring consistent portion control. Seasonal and specialty offerings such as chilled soups—gazpacho, vichyssoise, and fruit-based soups—benefit from the elegant framing and refined proportions. The collection also supports soup flights, progressive tasting courses, and multi-course menus where precise portioning and presentation consistency are essential.
Creative & Contemporary Applications
Beyond soup service, the Rim Soup collection adapts effortlessly to modern culinary applications. Use the bowls for individual desserts such as mousse, panna cotta, custards, pudding, and chilled desserts, or for small composed salads and refined side dishes. The collection performs beautifully for amuse-bouche presentations, palate cleansers featuring sorbet or granita, tasting menu courses, breakfast applications including yogurt, oatmeal, and fruit, and even dessert soups and layered sweet presentations. The defined rim supports composed plating, layered arrangements, and visually balanced presentations across both sweet and savory applications. Whether supporting traditional soup courses, creative tasting menus, elevated breakfast service, or contemporary dessert programs, the Imperial White Rim Soup collection provides a versatile foundation that proves classic rimmed design remains essential to refined dining experiences.
