Description
Our Ginnie platter is a small ceramic serving dish made in the shape of a gingerbread man, arms flung wide and a broad smile on his face. Piped-icing lines trace his outline, his wrists and his ankles. A striped scarf sits at his neck and two little buttons run down his front, all set against a glossy brown surface. He is made of dolomite ceramic and measures 18cm long, 16cm wide and 2cm tall. Think of him as a shallow dish for a handful of biscuits or sweets rather than a platter for a whole cake. At 0.25KG he is light enough to pass from hand to hand round the table.
He is a Christmas piece through and through. Set him beside the kettle with a few biscuits for an afternoon cup of tea, put him on the coffee table when friends call round, or lay one at each place for a Christmas Eve treat. He is approved for food, so gingerbread, shortbread, chocolates or a few nuts can sit straight on the ceramic. His size suits a kitchen counter, a sideboard or a narrow hall table where a full serving plate would crowd things. He also makes a cheerful small present for anyone who loves to bake.
The maker's care guidance is plain: he does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven. Wash him by hand and dry him before he goes back in the cupboard, and keep him for serving rather than warming or baking anything on him. The styling props shown are not included. For a fuller festive table, lay him on a wooden board or a linen runner with a jug of hot chocolate alongside. Once the biscuits are gone he can stay out as a small decoration until the tree comes down.
