Description
This round trinket dish carries a painted portrait of a curly-coated dog at its centre, set on a soft pink ground scattered with little golden sprigs tipped in pale blue. It is made of coated cast iron and measures 11.1cm across, with a shallow rim that rises 1.3cm. The dog's shaggy brown coat, bright dark eyes and black nose give it a cheerful, lifelike face, and the sprig pattern runs all the way to the edge, so the dish looks finished from every side as well as from above.
We like it on a dressing table or bedside table, where it keeps rings, earrings and a watch together overnight, or on a hallway console as a landing spot for keys and loose change. It is small enough for a desk, a bookshelf or a windowsill, and at just 1.3cm high it keeps small things in view and easy to pick up. The warm pink and brown sit happily in a bedroom with soft colours, and the painted dog brings a friendly face to a plain shelf or a busy desk alike.
Foam pads are attached to the underside to help prevent scratches, so you can set the dish on a wooden dressing table, a glass shelf or a painted surface with confidence. The coated cast iron needs very little looking after: as good practice for metal, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth, dry it straight away and dust it with a soft dry cloth between times. For a small, thoughtful gift, tuck a pair of earrings or a little keyring inside and wrap the two together; it is a present that keeps being useful long after the day itself.
