{"product_id":"bee-hive-large-earthenware-plate-20-7cm-cream-and-yellow","title":"Bee Hive Large Earthenware Plate 20.7cm - Cream \u0026 Yellow","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis earthenware plate brings a little of the countryside to the table, with a soft cream glaze, raised yellow honeycomb along its top and bottom edges and two striped bees buzzing across the middle. One bee trails a looping dashed flight path, which gives the design a playful sense of movement. Fine dark speckles are scattered through the cream, and a warm yellow band runs around the rim to frame the pattern. It is round, about 20.7cm across and 2.1cm deep, a handy size for a slice of cake, a couple of biscuits or a round of toast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat shallow 2.1cm depth keeps crumbs and small treats in place, so the plate suits afternoon tea, breakfast, a light lunch or a warm crumpet with a mug of tea. It sits happily in a farmhouse or cottage kitchen, mixes well with plain white tableware or other honey-toned pieces, and brings a sunny note to a dresser shelf or a table laid for friends. Because the honeycomb and bees stand slightly proud of the surface, the pattern catches the light and has a pleasing texture under your fingertips, which makes it as nice to look at on display as it is to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is made from earthenware, a traditional ceramic, with the honeycomb and bees raised in relief and picked out in yellow, black and white. To keep the colours bright, we would suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is good practice for any decorated earthenware. Fill it with warm scones and set it beside a pot of tea, or wrap it with a jar of honey for a cheerful present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarthenware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream \u0026amp; Yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePatterned\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20.7cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.402kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the bee plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is round and measures about 20.7cm across and 2.1cm deep, a useful size for cakes, biscuits, toast or a light lunch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the plate made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made from earthenware, a traditional ceramic, with a speckled cream glaze and yellow honeycomb and bee detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colours are on the plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is mainly cream with fine dark speckles, yellow honeycomb along two edges and a yellow rim, plus two black and yellow striped bees with white wings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the honeycomb pattern raised?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the honeycomb and the two bees stand slightly proud of the surface, so the pattern has a gentle texture and catches the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I look after the plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs good practice for decorated earthenware, we would suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWould the plate make a nice present?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts cheerful bee and honeycomb pattern makes it an easy, warm present, and it pairs nicely with a jar of honey or a packet of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hestia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53460820689163,"sku":"HE2765","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/he2765_01.jpg?v=1792266926","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/bee-hive-large-earthenware-plate-20-7cm-cream-and-yellow","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
