{"product_id":"dorreen-leaf-stoneware-platter-blue","title":"Dorreen Leaf Stoneware Platter - Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stoneware serving platter takes the shape of a single leaf, with a short stem at one end, raised veins fanning out from a centre line and a softly waved edge. The glaze is deepest blue along the middle and lightens towards the ribbed rim, flecked all over with fine speckles, so the surface has real depth up close. At 31cm long, 19.5cm wide and 4cm tall it is long enough for a proper spread yet narrow enough to sit down the middle of a table, and the gently raised edge keeps things from sliding off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made for serving food, so it earns its place at mealtimes: grilled asparagus, cheese and charcuterie, sliced fruit or crackers beside a dip. Its length suits a sharing dish passed along a dining table or set out on a kitchen island when friends come round. Between meals it works just as well as a display piece, holding shells, keys or a few small finds on a sideboard, a console table or an open shelf, where the leaf outline does the talking. It suits anyone drawn to natural forms and glazes with a little movement in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and weighs 0.8KG, so it feels solid in the hand without being a struggle to carry to the table. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, but it is not for the microwave or the oven, so arrange food on it rather than heating anything in it. For styling, lay it on a linen runner or a bare wooden table, where the blue glaze stands out against natural textures, or lean it at the back of a shelf with a couple of small bowls in front.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the leaf platter made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made of 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic, and it weighs 0.8KG, so it feels solid without being heavy to pass round the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it goes in the dishwasher, so it can be cleared away with the rest of your plates and bowls after a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put it in the microwave or the oven?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is not for the microwave or the oven, so use it for serving and display rather than for heating or cooking food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the platter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 31cm long, 19.5cm wide and 4cm tall, a good size for a sharing dish set down the middle of a dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I serve food on it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
