Charger Plates
A charger plate sits under the dinner plate to frame each place setting and catch crumbs and drips. Most chargers are about 13 inches across, which leaves a visible border around a standard 10 to 11 inch dinner plate. Chargers are decorative, so serve food on the plate rather than directly on the charger.
