Important Notice About Annieglass & Imperfections: During the kiln firing process, as the glass heats up, it stretches and slumps to take the shape of the handmade ceramic mold. Since gold and platinum are precious metals, they do not stretch like glass and may pull apart, creating a crackled effect on the finished glassware. This is one of the reasons that each piece of Annieglass is unique and speaks to Annie’s belief in the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—in which asymmetry and “imperfection” are viewed as beautiful. Once the glassware is removed from the kiln, the precious metals are set and fused into the glass, meaning the metals will not peel off or continue to pull apart for the duration of the glassware’s lifetime.
Purpose of a Charger
- Visual Elegance: Chargers enhance the overall aesthetic of a table setting, serving as a stylish backdrop for the dinnerware placed on top.
- Layering Foundation: They provide a base for the succession of dishes during a meal (salad plate, soup bowl, entrée plate), especially in multiple-course dining.
- Functional Role:
- Helps catch spills or crumbs, keeping the tablecloth or placemat cleaner.
- Maintains heat in the dinnerware by insulating it from the table surface.
Typical Features
- Size: Usually 12–14 inches in diameter, larger than a standard dinner plate.
- Materials: Can be made of metal, acrylic, glass, porcelain, or even rattan, depending on the theme or formality.
- Design: Often features ornamental edges, metallic finishes, or textures to complement fine china.
When to Use
- Formal Dining: Banquets, weddings, holiday meals, or upscale dinner parties.
- Special Occasions: Used to elevate any tablescape when presentation matters.
Etiquette Note
Chargers are typically removed before the main course is served, although this can vary based on regional or service style. They're not meant to be eaten off directly.
