Charger plates or service plates are large plates used at full-course dinners and/or to dress up special events like parties and weddings. Charger plates under this definition have been in use since the 19th Century, particularly in European place setting, but the concept has likely been around in one form or another in civilizations dating back into prehistory. Food is not actually served on chargers, and they are often called underplates or “chop” plates. The word “charger” originated around 1275-1325 AD from the Middle English “chargeour,” and was first used to signify either a large platter or shallow dish for liquids. Since they are not used for food, charger plates can be found in a variety of materials, from traditional china to metal, wood, glass, plastic, and pearl, and they may be decorated with substances that can be toxic if ingested. Although not a staple of Asian table setting in any known dynasty or era, they were manufactured in China, Japan, and Korea beginning in the mid 1800s, likely solely for export to the West.
