Description
This round decorative plate carries a gentle verse about friendship, printed across a stone-coloured ceramic face framed by a warm tan rim. The words read: "This plate belongs to all the friends you meet along the way, and made for sharing goodies, big and smallish, every day. So, when this plate is empty and the goodies are all gone, just fill it with more smackerels of love and pass it on." Beneath the verse sits the printed signature "Winnie-the-Pooh", with a small gold-coloured heart at the top and two fine gold-coloured lines setting the words apart. At 25cm across and 2cm deep, it gives the lettering plenty of room to be read and enjoyed.
We see it on a sideboard, a dresser shelf or a kitchen table, lying flat or propped upright on a plate stand of your own, where the verse can be read by everyone who passes. The idea of a giving plate is written into the words themselves: it is meant to travel, passed from one home to the next as a small gesture of kindness, and then passed on again. Its soft stone and tan colouring sits comfortably alongside cream, oak and natural tones, so it settles into a farmhouse kitchen or a quiet hallway just as easily.
The plate is ceramic, with a glossy stone-coloured face and a natural tan rim, and its low 2cm depth keeps it neat wherever it rests. As general good practice for ceramic, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it with a damp cloth when it needs a freshen, then dry it before putting it back in its place. As a gift, the verse says everything, so wrap it in tissue, add a short handwritten note, and let it begin its journey.
