Shallow Circular Dishes Crossword

Shallow circular dishes crossword clue. A daily two speed crossword puzzle question in Daily Telegraph Sydney on Wednesday, 12 July 2017. 6 letters.

Answer: PLATES

A plate is a broad, concave, but mainly flat vessel on which food can be served.[1] A plate can also be used for ceremonial or decorative purposes. Most plates are circular, but they may be any shape, or made of any water-resistant material. Generally plates are raised round the edges, either by a curving up, or a wider lip or raised portion.

Vessels with no lip, especially if they have a more rounded profile, are likely to be considered as bowls or dishes, as are very large vessels with a plate shape. Plates are dishware, and tableware. Plates in wood, pottery and metal go back into antiquity in many cultures.
