Description
This is a serving platter in the shape of a gingerbread man, made in stoneware and finished with a glaze that gives it a warm, glossy brown shine. He has a smiling face, a bow tied at the neck, three hearts down his front and wavy icing lines across his arms and legs, so the platter looks like the biscuit it is meant to carry. It measures 30.5cm long, 20.5cm wide and 1.5cm tall, which makes it a generous size for a plate of biscuits or a few slices of cake, yet slim enough to slip into a cupboard between uses.
We see it most at home on the kitchen table or the sideboard through December, holding gingerbread, mince pies or the biscuits you have just baked. A low lip runs around the outline, which helps keep crumbs and small treats on the platter rather than on the cloth. It suits families who bake together, anyone hosting friends over the festive season, and the house that leaves a plate out on Christmas Eve. Because it is a cheerful character rather than a plain dish, it also makes a good small gift for a keen baker.
Glazed stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, with a smooth surface that is easy to wipe clean. The platter goes in the dishwasher and can go in the microwave, so warming a few mince pies is simple, but it is not for the oven. It weighs 0.53KG, light enough to pass around the table when it is full. For styling, set it on a wooden board or a linen runner with a sprig of greenery beside it, and let the hearts and the smiling face do the decorating.
