Charger Plate Rentals by Jumping Jack's

Food is not actually served on chargers; they are often called underplates or chop plates. The word "charger" originated around 1275-1325 from the Middle English "chargeour". The word âÅâœchargeourâÝ gathers its meaning from both horse and plate ware. A charger plate at a meal is used for carrying heavy items from place to place. As a rider is carried by a horse, so do charger plates carry the dinner plate load on the table, thus both functional and decorative. Originally much larger, charger plates are now modest in size and can be found in a variety of colors, materials and shapes.
