Description
This serving platter is made from stoneware under a black glaze. A loose ring of flowers, sprigs and leaves is drawn around its edge, and the centre is left clear. The flowers sit in soft, lighter tones against the black, with fine lines picking out petals and veins, and slender sprays of stems and buds fill the gaps between them. It is 26cm long, 25cm wide and 3.5cm tall, with a softly uneven round outline and a low rim, which puts it between a dinner plate and a larger serving platter in size. At 0.64KG it is easy to lift and pass across the table.
Because it is approved for food, it works as well for serving as it does for eating from. Use it for sandwiches at lunch, a little cheese and fruit for two, cakes at teatime or a generous main course at dinner. The clear centre gives food room to sit without covering the flowers, so the pattern stays in view around the edge. It suits a kitchen table at everyday meals as much as a table laid for guests, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes floral tableware with a darker background.
The platter is 100% stoneware. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, which is why it is so often chosen for tableware that gets used every day. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, and it can go in the oven too, so you can warm it before serving or reheat a portion on it. Underneath, a foot ring lifts it slightly off the table. To style it, lay it on a wooden table or a light linen cloth where the black glaze stands out, or stack it with plain plates so the flowers bring some colour to the meal.
