Description
This round stoneware plate in white and red is made for one of the best loved moments of Christmas Eve: setting out a little something for Santa before bed. Across its white centre, red lettering reads "COOKIES FOR SANTA", followed by a short letter that begins "Dear Santa," and invites him to help himself to tasty cookies made just for him, wishes him joy on his journey to deliver presents to everyone and thanks him for spreading joy and magic, before signing off with "MERRY CHRISTMAS". A glossy red rim circles the plate, and two beaded red handles sit on opposite sides. It measures 30.7cm across and 3.5cm deep, a generous size with room for a few cookies around the lettering.
On Christmas Eve it belongs by the fireplace, under the tree or on the kitchen table, wherever your household leaves its treat for Santa, perhaps with a glass of milk beside it. Through the rest of December it is a cheerful piece to lay out on a dresser, sideboard or coffee table, where the red and white suit a traditional, homely Christmas scheme. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, the kind of piece that comes out with the decorations year after year and becomes part of the family routine.
The plate is made of stoneware, a type of ceramic, with the red rim and handles set against the white for a crisp, festive contrast. The beaded handles give your fingers something to hold as you carry it from the kitchen to the fireside. For care, wipe it clean with a soft damp cloth and dry it before putting it away, then store it flat, wrapped in tissue, until next December comes round. Set it out on the evening of the 24th with your best cookies on top, and leave the empty plate, crumbs and all, for everyone to find on Christmas morning.
