Small dinner plates

Help!

We're trying to lose weight as a family but the giant white IKEA plates make the portions look so tiny. They're not. There's enough food, but it just looks so disappointing. My mum's gradually built up a collection of little European style plates. (I'm no good with visualising dimensions). But she got hers in dribs and drabs via charity shops.

I want a size between standard side and dinner plate and pretty, rather than white. With ideally matching bits and not stupidly expensive. Found some lovely ones on Amazon but £75 for 5 plates!

Can anyone help?

When my Godson went to Uni he got some basic white plates from Tesco, in a box. He was unhappy that they were small and everyone else there had bigger plates. He was a growing lad!

We have old villeroy and noch. The side plates are 19cm and dinner plates 23cm. They are perfect. We haven’t quiet enough as I guess some broke over the years so we have been building the collection back up via eBay/ second hand
