Gold is the defining colour here, and the porcelain look borrows the feel of classic tableware. Three different vintage-look designs keep a long table from looking repetitive. You can alternate them place by place, group one design per section of the table, or give every guest a different design to look at.

The shape plays its part too. It is noticeably different from an ordinary paper plate, so the plates read as part of the decoration rather than as something purely practical. That means you need fewer extras around them to make the table feel like an occasion.

The 24-pack is aimed at anyone hosting a larger celebration with gold table decorations. For a group of four to six it is generous, for twelve to twenty-four guests it is exactly right, and if you want to serve two courses on separate plates it will see twelve people through the meal.

There is no shortage of occasions: Christmas and New Year's Eve, a wedding or an anniversary, a big birthday, or a garden party where nobody fancies the washing-up. Gold sits happily alongside white, black, red and green, so the plates work with very different table linen.

• Alternate the three designs along the table so the pattern runs as a rhythm from end to end.
• For a calmer look, keep one design per section of the table.
• Gold shows up best against dark or white table linen.
• On a buffet, set out a small stack of each design so guests can help themselves quickly.
• Count one plate per guest, or two if you are serving two courses on separate plates.
• The flat 23 x 23 x 3 cm pack is easy to buy ahead and store until the date.
