Formal Serving Dishes For Elegant Presentation

Dinner parties and other formal occasions call for sophisticated tableware that matches the elegant atmosphere. Williams Sonoma carries a line of formal serving dishes to match your formal dinner plates and create an exquisite tabletop perfectly suited to the occasion. They provide a visually appealing showcase for the food, and fine platters and serving trays also serve as lovely pieces of decor in their own right.

All Your Serveware Essentials

There are many different types of formal serveware to choose from, making it easy to find the best kind for your tabletop. Our selection includes both rectangular and oval platters for serving up everything from hors d'oeuvres and appetizers to salad and pasta. Oval platters tend to have a more classic style, while clean-lined square platters are brimming with modern appeal. Our platters also come in different sizes and feature design elements like handles for secure transport from the kitchen to the table.

Beautiful Porcelain Craftsmanship

Porcelain is a quintessential material for formal serving dishes. Our high-fire porcelain platters and trays have a gorgeous white finish and a clear glaze that instantly catches the eye and uplifts the table setting with its subtle simplicity. Additionally, while it may be delicate in appearance, porcelain is actually a fantastically durable material that is resistant to chipping. With some thoughtful care and storage, your fine porcelain dishes will last for many years to come.

Formal Serveware Bundles

Upgrade your serveware collection all at once with one of our formal serveware bundles. These convenient bundles contain pieces like serving platters, serving bowls and gravy boats in matching colors and designs. They are a fantastic option for serving up roasts or other delicious dishes that come with savory sauces.
