Finding items as unique as this one is difficult sometimes because you might just not know where to look. Well, I am going to help you out, and point you in the right direction. The Fifty United Plates Collection from the Corbe Company, offers a selection of Porcelain Plates for every State of the United States from their website.
My wife and I are always trying to find novelty items that we can use for when we entertain here at home. This definitely fits that motive, and here is a picture below that illustrates how we used it to display some tortilla chips for consumption.
The plate I received for the review came very well packaged, and you can tell by the way it was protected that the company stood behind what it made, as each one is hand-made right in Detroit, Michigan. The duo behind it all, Kaitlyn and Ryan Lawless, ensures that:
Pairing the best technology offerings of our era with good old-fashioned “handufacturing” is our life’s work. Ceramic wares and storied objects from our hands to yours – use them, live with them, they’re for you.
When you hold the plate, and feel it, you can appreciate the time and effort they took to ensure that you would enjoy it as much as they would. Here are some pictures below of how well it came packaged and protected.
Each state will have a size based on the dimensions of that state, and will serve it’s purpose in different ways depending on the way you use it for cooking, baking, or using it for parties like we will. The characteristics that stand out, and the thought process behind each one to make sure it functions as it should, is all highly thought out.
With each plate being food safe, dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and oven safe up to 450 Degrees Fahrenheit, each porcelain dish can last years and be a conversation piece that can be handed down for generations to come. Find your own plate, among others, as they also carry World Plates as well on their website here.

These are so neat, what a great idea to use for parties. I would get one for NC and Tenn. I would put sweets or appetizers in them. Thanks for sharing these unique plates.
These are so cute and clever. I would love to have one for each state we have visited.
These plates are really neat. I really like them.
Truthfully, I’d love to have them all! LOL However, if I could only purchase one [ and on my liimited income ONE would be the limit ] , I’d buy The United States plate in The World Collection@ I agree,,it would make a very unique houusewarming gift and your name would be the topic of many conversations for many years to come! 🙂
Me and my husband love to travel, these would be great to get as souvenirs.
I choose New York – the greatest of the 50 states and my home!
I really like the idea of the State plates. I think it woyuld be great to collect a plate for each state one has traveled to.
wow those would be cute for the party i do and then i love differnt thing
I would like to have the Illinois plate. that my home state
I love these plates, their so cute and you could use them for anything
I love these bowls shaped like states. Would make a nice gift too.
The plates look like they are very well made with the best materials. I wouldn’t want to use them for fear that they might get scratched or broken and I am not sure how or where I would store them. They look like art, so perhaps someone with lots of room could hang them up.
These are really neat. I like the idea to do it. It would be perfect for someone who is a collector of state things.
this is such a neat idea, having a husband that grew up in iowa and west virginia and now living in ohio it would be neat to get this, to use for my homeschooled daughter, and also just for a neat reminder of all the places weve been:)
I would choose California and this would make a nice thank you gift for people you are visiting out of state with the state they live in or your home state.
Wowza these porcelain plates rock..I love this idea for the individual state with that states specialty in foods…Texas would be awesome for tex- mex or steaks. The one I want and where I live is Florida!! How fun for all our seafood…pile on the shrimp or all our great citrus and produce…salads…love these ..thanks
I am so impressed by how someone took this idea and made it into something so fun and useful. What a great conversation piece too.
It is a great conversation piece! Thanks for your comment, have a great day!
These state plates are awesome. I’d love to get the Idaho plate.
I too love novelty items and unique things. I think its great that the plate is microwave and oven safe. Oh I would have to get New York no if and s about it. Then Florida.
The Corbe Company, offers a selection of Porcelain Plates for every State of the United States from their website.
Yes they do.
Love these pkates. Need Indiana for my grandkids.
Great idea! This is so perfect to put out at parties.
Those are great! They’d be good for a theme party and make a fun gift for all sorts of things and people (I know I have several relatives in Texas who’d like that Texas plate). Since they look good took, they could even be displayed when not in use. Seems so many plates or dishes are meant to be used or displayed or they’re fun. We need more stuff like this. 🙂
They are nice, but you can bake, cook, and microwave in them too!
Ya, these are cool. I, of course, would choose Massachusetts. These would be great for catering companies that work any of their state parties.
I seriously want to get one of each, fill them with a bunch of bite-sized versions of their signature dish, and have a party!
Hi Erin, that sounds awesome, and I am sure they would love to have you do that…. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. ~Tom
I love these plates and I think if I had them I would use them for decorations for the dining room wall 🙂 just too pretty to eat from..
what an amazing idea this was, I don’t think I would even eat out of it, I would probably use it for decoration on my dining room wall 🙂
You could do that, but being that you can cook and bake in it, there is so much to do with it! ~Tom
I LOVE these plates!! Seriously! Love them!
I live in Indiana but I would get the Ohio plate because that is my birthplace and home , my heart will always be in Ohio 🙂
I love the Texas plate. This would make a great gift.
These would be great for a party to make foods you would expect from each state.
that is a great idea, a recipe from that state. Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
I wonder if someone would use these as wall art. They could be coloured to make them stand out.
Wall Art would be unique…they are a little heavier, but could work.
These plates are so beautiful and creative
They really are. I love ours. I might even grab one or two for housewarming gifts in the future.
These plates are so unique and beautiful! I’ll put an order in for California 🙂 Thank you!
Awesome. I am sure they would love to make one for you. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
these plates look awesome! support your state!
It would be so cool to get one from each state I lived in as an army brat!
how awesome is this plate love it
This is a great gift idea! I love the Ohio and Michigan ones!
This is a nice blog to read about
I have all the state quarts i wish I had all the state plates makes a great gift
What a great housewarming gift…or I can also see it as a wedding gift. It would be really cool if both the bride and groom were from different states, they could each have their own plate.
That is a great idea! Maybe others will see this comment!
I’d love one of these in the shape of Mississippi!
I would definitely pick my state Nebraska. I love that you can use these in the oven or microwave. These would also make such great gifts too.
They would, and since they are made in small batches, you know the quality is going to be good!
I love looking at silhouettes and these state plates in white would suit any decor.
They are pretty awesome. They have ones from around the world too, but the state ones are my favorite.
what a neat plate! i would love to win and get Ohio!
Being from Ohio, I couldn’t pick a different state, that would have been blasphemy! Thanks for the comment, have a great day! ~Tom
This is cool!!
I love these Plates! What a great idea:)
I really like these–the way they were packaged before mailing looks like they truly care about their product–and to have one of these would have great fun and value to a conversation piece–good job on your part in finding an interesting piece to anyones home.
I would love to have one of these to commemorate my home state while I live far, far away 🙂
I love the idea of having items from your home state! (Or, any state you’re particularly fond of!)
Louisiana
This is a great gift for my sister, who lives in Texas. She loves stuff like this. The plates look well made and durable.
These are so cute and would make great gifts especially for friends and family who have moved out of state.
This is a wonderful gift idea.
I would have to choose Florida since I lived here most my life. Through many hurricanes! These plates are definately made with love.
OMGosh! How cute are these! I’m so going to snag some of these as I love collecting plates. How cool!
They are pretty awesome. We love ours.
Oh my gosh this is the coolest! We love to host parties and potlucks this would be a fun serving dish for our dips. I have never seen these before!
Those would make a great going away gift for someone moving to another state, send them off with the state they’re leaving. I would want CT to remind me of where I grew up.
those are really cool,i can see that in my house
What a good thing. You can celebrate and have parties with your state!
I love these! I need to get the Texas one for my guacamole and chips!
i am such a sucker for cool plates! These are really neat and I actually am considering getting some because collecting plates is my thing!
A state plate would be not only be a unique conversation piece but also would make a functioning serving piece at parties. Great idea and it would also be a great gift to give.
That is so cool! I’ve got to get one in the shape of Florida.
We love ours. Was glad to get to work with them. ~Tom
Very unique! Never seen anything like this.
What a great way to pay tribute to your homestate.
