What is the difference between the black plates and silver plates? Anything functional or just look?

The black plates are titanium. This iron was the best i could get. Sadly it broke because amazon doesnt have warranty

I honestly don't know but I have both and the black plates straighten the hair better and faster

To tell you the truth, I only used these dishes for 2 years. I was very disappointed in the way the dishes looked with the silverware marks. I didn't get any kind of satisfaction when I contacted the company. I do not use these dishes any more....I had a service for 12..... I would buy these dishes ever again!

We have had the dishes about a year, and have never seen silverware marks on them. My mom has Fiestaware and her plates are all marked up!

It is really a personal preference. There is no difference besides the casing. I have the silver and love the way they look....

No rhyme or reason. If you ask me it is personal taste and should be the same black or silver. I chose silver :-).

The plates that you've received are of equal design. They 're just packaged with a different deign on top to show the different designs. Once you open the plates you will see there's equal plates and designs. Thank you.

Something happened on my computer and my message disappeared. Anyway, we bought these plates for salad plates and they work well as they will hold a 2 cup salad, which we eat with the smaller serving diet we're on. The dishes look like clear plain glass to me, except you can't really see through them because of the design. They have little points around the edge that give them the appearance of a leaf. We like them quite well and they work well for us. Hope this helps, Ed

I have not picked up the white version, but the black finish has a subtle texture that does provide a very decent grip. I don' know about black finish over silver plating versus some other combo of materials

The trim is silver. Very nice plates. My guess wanted to wash them for me to keep.

I have the black model. A close friend and a daughter-in-law have the silver. The three of us each use a SanDisk, Ultra II, 1GB card. I do all the printing on the same printer, so all comparisons are identical. That said, I see no difference in the prints from black or silver. I just think the black looks better beacause it breaks up all that silver. Interesting comment from Pger. I also agree with Fred Miller. I think it's just a matter of your color preference as the specs for both are the same.

I never compared them. Only saw the granite color. Very satisfied with the granite silverware tray.

I do not think this is silver plate and have seen no tarnish. Just make sure the plates you want use wth it will fit; it says 10" but is really more like 9 1/2".

The one I ordered online showed the buttons as being black but it came in grey, and I even asked on the phone if the buttons were black and was told yes. So, I guess it may depend on the seller. Also had issues with the plate cover types as well. If I was you I would just make sure to confirm everything with the seller. Hope that helps.

I have silver and my wife has black. My silver case shows scratches easier than her black case. Not as easy to see on the black one.

It's about the thickness of one of the clear plates which allow just enough spongyness to allow a good impression. It's a must to get a good impression with the black impression plates. Hope this helps.

I don't think that there are any technical advantages but it looks better and scratches less as the black is a matt plastic type material. I have the black model.
