Here's a little something for your home.

It's called a Terra Charger, and we sell it in our furniture store. Retails for $123.99, but we'll let you have it for $60.

Just thought someone in here would want it since it looks like a big woofer.

Wow, now I know what a charger plate is. Bet those are flying off the shelves.

Yup! Now, will that be cash or, err, charger?

This is a big piece. With the shipping will go over a hundred bucks.

I bought a placemat at Pier One for $2 that does the same thing.

A decorative charger plate is an elegant and underused element of a place setting. Also known as a chop plate, service plate, or underplate, a charger plate gets its "decorative" label because it never directly touches any food; instead it functions as an aesthetic resting place onto which food-bearing dishes and bowls are placed. A charger plate is usually larger than a dinner plate but smaller than a food-serving platter. As it need not hold food, it can be made out of a wider range of materials than regular dishes. In addition to standard china, plates made of metal, wood, mother of pearl, and even leather can be found.

It's a pretentious $60 placemat.

I'm going to suggest that if you were to use it as a placemat, being the boor you are, dishes would slide off, as it stands upright on a stand, permanently attached.

[ForeverAutumn]

But if it stands upright and you used it to put your plate on, wouldn't all the food fall off?

[3LB]

or maybe it would make cool sort of OB baffle for a small fullrange driver. what's the dims on that center dome?

Sigh.

[Stone]

Okay, then how does this happen?

Oh, and why am I reading a thread about a useless dish, of all things?

[Finch Platte]

Mods, delete thread, k?

[GMichael]

Hmm...........

[ForeverAutumn]

No. Don't delete the thread. We need to get to the bottom of this. How do I rest my dish on this thing if it's upright on a permanent stand?

Do you have any tin dishes? Think Swan station.
