Description
Caramella is a pair of round stoneware plates that bring a sweet-shop playfulness to the Christmas table. One plate carries broad diagonal stripes with a dotted wrapped sweet at its centre; the other is covered in large spots, with a striped wrapped sweet in the middle, and each rim is edged in a band of contrasting colour. They are multicoloured and cheerful, designed to sit together rather than to match exactly. Each plate is 16cm across and 3cm tall, which makes them side plates: big enough for a slice of cake or a couple of mince pies, small enough to tuck beside a dinner plate.
These plates belong wherever something small and sweet is being handed round over the festive weeks. Set them out for Christmas Eve pudding, use them for biscuits with afternoon tea, or put out fruit cake and cheese when friends call round. They make a good gift for anyone who collects cheerful tableware for December, and because the two patterns differ, they work well as a pair for two people sharing dessert, a breakfast tray or a slice of something in front of the fire on Boxing Day.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing. The decoration is a decal, with details painted by hand on top. Both plates go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a mince pie can be warmed through on the plate it is served on and the washing up afterwards is simple. For styling, set each one on a larger plain dinner plate so the stripes and spots sit framed in the middle, or prop the pair on a dresser shelf between meals for a bit of festive cheer.
