Dorothy Floral Stoneware Cake Stand - Multi

This stoneware cake stand carries a bouquet of garden flowers gathered in a jug, printed across the centre of its round top. Under the print the surface has a fine embossed texture like woven linen, so up close the flowers look almost stitched rather than painted. The edge rises and falls in a gentle wave, finished with a thin line of colour, and the whole top sits on a sturdy pedestal foot. It is 28cm across and 9cm tall and weighs 1KG, made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic that feels solid in the hand. The overall effect is multicoloured and cheerful, a piece that makes a plain sponge look like an occasion.

At 28cm across, the top has room for a whole cake, a tart or a spread of scones and small bakes, and the 9cm height lifts them just enough to draw the eye without blocking the view across the table. It belongs in the kitchen and at the dining table: afternoon tea with friends, a birthday, a weekend bake, the pudding after Sunday lunch. Between bakes it earns its keep holding fruit, a wedge or two of cheese or a few pastries on the breakfast table. It suits anyone who bakes for pleasure and likes to bring the result out properly rather than straight from the tin.

Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, so after a party it can be washed with everything else, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven. For styling, keep the bakes simple and let the print show between them: a few scones or tarts arranged around the bouquet rather than over it, with a linen cloth beneath to echo the woven texture of the top. The styling props shown are not included.
