Description
Our ceramic snowman dish brings a bit of festive cheer to the table without tipping into kitsch. Shaped as a friendly snowman lying flat, the piece is moulded from glazed ceramic in a clean white finish, with the gentle sheen you would expect from a well fired surface. Measuring 3cm high, 21cm wide and 15cm deep, it sits low and shallow, offering enough room for sweets, chocolates, nuts or a scatter of clementines. The form is simple and rounded, so it reads as a decorative shape as much as a serving dish.
This is one of those Christmas decorations that earns its keep beyond the mantelpiece. Set it on a coffee table filled with mince pies, place it on the sideboard as a catch-all for keys and coins over the holidays, or use it on the dining table alongside candles and greenery. The white glaze pairs easily with silver, gold, red or natural wood, so it slots into most seasonal schemes. Grouped with other white ceramic pieces it looks considered rather than cluttered.
Being ceramic, it is sturdy in everyday use and wipes clean with a damp cloth. For sticky residue from sweets or fruit, warm soapy water and a soft sponge will do the job. We would avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the glaze, and recommend hand washing to keep the finish looking its best. Once the season is over, wrap it in tissue and store it somewhere dry so it comes out fresh each year.
