About
A standard dinner plate is a flat dish measuring about 10.6 inches across, designed to hold a main meal.
Dinner plates are the largest flat dishes in everyday table settings, easily outsizing smaller 7- to 8-inch (18 to 20 cm) salad or bread plates. Most modern dinner plates range from 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) in diameter, while historical versions were often slightly smaller. Commercial restaurant plates can reach up to 13 inches (33 cm) across to leave extra decorative space around the food.
From Wikipedia
A plate is a broad, mainly flat vessel on which food can be served. A plate can also be used for ceremonial or decorative purposes.
