In later posts, we go through all the plates, but now let’s look at the soup plates.
We have two options: soup cups and soup plates.
There are multiple sizes of soup plates.
Smaller ones are only for soups, 3,5 [dL]. Larger volumes 7 [dL] – 1 [L] are designed for risotto or Italian pasta foods, chili beans.
Diameters and volumes:
As you can see, multiple volumes are available for the same diameters. The larger volume versions do come with a higher edge.
Lid
Soup cups are manufactured in two main versions:
The versions with a lid are suitable for soups that have to be served hot. Such soups are, for example, broths.
The soup cup with a lid is designed to have a cover. Therefore the golden rim will not be damaged by the lid itself. The soup cup without a lid is designed to have no lid. You cannot order lids later for these models, as the golden edge would be damaged.
