Description
Our Dahlia platter is a round stoneware serving platter, 32.5cm across and 3cm tall, with a low upright rim running all the way round. The finish is brown across one half and a lighter, speckled tone across the other, the two meeting along a soft diagonal, while fine concentric rings spread out from the centre. At 32.5cm it is well beyond dinner plate size: this is a proper sharing piece for the middle of the table rather than something for one. It weighs 2KG, a solid, reassuring weight in the hand.
This is the platter for the food everyone shares: a roast carved and laid out, warm bread rolls, a cheese spread, roasted vegetables or a pile of flatbreads. The low rim gives everything a neat edge to sit within. It suits a family Sunday lunch, a dinner party or a slow weekend breakfast in the kitchen or dining room, and between meals it can lean against the back of a dresser or open kitchen shelf, where the two-tone finish works as decoration in its own right.
The maker rates it for food use and for the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven. In practice that means you can warm it in the oven before a roast comes out, reheat a portion on it in the microwave and put it straight in the dishwasher afterwards. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well, which suits food brought warm to the table. For styling, lay it on a bare wooden table or a linen runner and pair it with plain stoneware bowls in warm, earthy tones; at 32.5cm across, it is worth checking your cupboard depth before it joins your everyday stack.

Frequently Asked
Can I put the Dahlia platter in the oven?
Yes. The maker rates it for the oven, so you can warm it before serving a roast or a bake and bring the food to the table on it.
Does it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes to both. The maker rates it for the dishwasher and the microwave, so you can reheat leftovers on it and clean it without hand washing.
How big is the platter?
It is 32.5cm across and 3cm tall and weighs 2KG. That is well beyond dinner plate size, so it works as a sharing platter for the middle of the table.
What is it made of, and can food go straight on it?
It is 100% stoneware, and the maker rates it for food use, so bread, cheese, roasts and vegetables can go directly onto the surface.
What do I get with my order?
You receive one stoneware platter. The styling props shown are not included, so the bowls, jugs, linen and food are not part of the order.
