Description
This cream stoneware dinner plate is made for the Christmas table, 30.5cm across and 2.5cm tall, so a full festive meal has plenty of room. Its face carries a finely drawn print: two leaping stags meet in the centre among fir sprigs, acorns, pine cones, wrapped presents, a drum, pretzels, French horns and ribbon bows. Around the wide rim the same motifs repeat as a border, and a fine line finishes the outer edge. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and at 1.122KG this plate has a good, solid weight in the hand.
At 30.5cm it sits at the generous end of dinner plate sizes, which suits the main event: turkey with all the trimmings on Christmas Day, a festive supper with friends, or Boxing Day leftovers piled high. Lay one at each place for Christmas lunch, or use a single plate to carry mince pies, stollen or a cheeseboard to the table. Because the print covers both the centre and the rim, the plate still looks dressed when the food is half gone, and it sits just as well on a kitchen table as on a dining table laid for guests.
Care is simple. It goes in the dishwasher, so the washing up after a big meal is no trouble, and it can go in the microwave for reheating a plateful later. It can go in the oven too, so you can warm the plates before serving, as many cooks like to do with a roast. We think it looks best with plain linen napkins, tall candles and a runner of fresh greenery, letting the fine print carry the festive look on its own.
