Embossed Frosted Pine Trees Stoneware Serving Tray 44.5cm - Grey

This stoneware serving tray carries a row of seven embossed pine trees across its base, each one raised from the surface so the branches catch the light like a frosted winter wood. It is a simple rectangle in soft grey, with a shallow lip all round and a handle at each end, so you can carry it from kitchen to table with both hands. The tray measures 44.5cm long and 19.5cm wide, and it is 3.3cm deep, which gives you a generous, flat space without taking over the table. The trees are in the same grey as the tray, so the pattern reads as quiet texture rather than bright colour.

We see it most at home on the Christmas table, set out for mince pies, shortbread or slices of Christmas cake when friends call round, and just as handy on a sideboard or kitchen island through December. Away from mealtimes it makes a calm base for a cluster of candles in holders, a few pine cones or a sprig of greenery on a mantelpiece or coffee table. Its soft grey sits happily with white, silver and green decorations and suits both a pared-back modern room and a cosier, traditional one. As a Christmas gift it is a piece that can come out year after year.

The tray is made from stoneware with a smooth, glossy finish, and the embossed trees are part of the surface rather than a printed pattern. As general good practice for stoneware, we would wipe it clean with a damp cloth or wash it by hand in warm soapy water, then dry it well, and dust it with a soft dry cloth when it is on display. If you gather candles on it, never leave them burning unattended. For gifting, wrap it in tissue with a bundle of cinnamon sticks, or set it on the table with a folded linen napkin beside it.
