Description
This stoneware dinner plate is made for the Christmas table, and its pattern is what you notice first. A ring of wrapped sweets runs right round the rim, some striped and some spotted, each twisted at the ends like a boiled sweet in its paper. Across the centre, dotted lines cross in a grid, rather like a noughts and crosses board. It is a multi-coloured design that feels cheerful without being fussy. At 30.5cm across and 4cm tall it is a generous dinner plate, with a gently raised edge and plenty of room for a full Christmas lunch.
Set one at each place for the main meal on Christmas Day, or bring a few out on Christmas Eve with mince pies, biscuits or a handful of sweets that echo the rim. Because it is a full dinner plate size, it also works as a serving plate on Boxing Day, for cheese and crackers, cold cuts or a slice of cake passed round the table. It suits a household that likes its festive table playful rather than formal, and it sits comfortably alongside plainer crockery you already own, so you can add a touch of fun without replacing everything in the cupboard.
It is made from 100% stoneware with a glazed finish. Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, and this plate weighs 1.61KG, so it feels solid and steady in the hand. It goes in the dishwasher, which matters after a big family meal, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so warm food in another dish and serve it onto the plate. For styling, lay it on a plain linen runner so the sweets round the rim have space to show, and scatter a few wrapped sweets between the places to carry the pattern along the table.
