It's those decorative larger plates that you place under your regular plates. Usually when setting a more formal table and serves mainly to keep your table cloth from staining and for decorative purposes. http://www.hometalk.com/diy/craft/centerpieces/diy-plate-chargers-9497979

I have Christmas dishes for 12 and they look so pretty on my red chargers. A smaller crowd means I can use one for a centerpiece. Red also works for all summer holidays, Valentines Day, and even Fall, mixed with browns, oranges and golds. I also have red stemmed wine and water glasses. Love a pretty table and don't know why we don't do it much anymore.

It is a strictly decorative larger plate that goes under the main dinner plate.
