{"product_id":"bea-crackle-stoneware-platter-34-5x26cm-cream","title":"Bea Crackle Stoneware Platter 34.5x26cm - Cream","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis oval serving platter is cream stoneware, 34.5cm long, 26cm wide and 2cm tall, under a crackle glaze that breaks into a fine web of lines across the surface. Running the length of it is a botanical motif: a tall fern frond, a cluster of flowering sprigs and a few fine, bare twigs, spaced out as though they had been laid down after a walk. The outline is a soft, slightly irregular oval rather than a crisp ellipse, and a low rim finishes the edge. At 1.19KG it feels solid and substantial in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith food safe stoneware and that much length, this is a platter for sharing. It suits a cheese board with crackers and grapes, sliced cold meats, a lemon drizzle cake or a spread of roasted vegetables. At 2cm tall it is a flat serving plate rather than a dish, so it is happiest with food that sits neatly rather than anything saucy. Use it on the dining table for Sunday lunch, on the kitchen island when friends come round, or on a garden table for summer meals. The botanical pattern makes it a natural fit for a country kitchen, a cottage dining room or a pared-back scheme of linen and pale wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe maker lists it as dishwasher safe, so it can go in with the rest of the washing up. It is not microwave safe or oven safe, so treat it as a platter to serve from rather than one to warm or cook on: plate food up from the oven onto it, not the other way round. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the crackle glaze gives the surface its fine, aged look. To style it, lay a sprig of fresh herbs or a single stem beside the food to echo the motif, or stand it upright on a plate rack on the dresser between meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e34.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.19KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this platter go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
