{"product_id":"granny-embossed-stoneware-christmas-plates-set-of-2-red","title":"Granny Embossed Stoneware Christmas Plates Set of 2 - Red","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are two embossed stoneware Christmas plates, each 16cm across and 2cm tall, with faces that stand slightly proud of the surface. One plate carries a smiling, bearded face with closed eyes and a curled moustache, framed by bold vertical stripes; the other is Granny herself, her hair gathered into a bun and her lips pursed, set inside a red rim scattered with dots. Because the faces are raised rather than printed, they have real depth when you pick a plate up, and red leads the colour on both, which keeps the pair firmly in the Christmas mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 16cm, these are side plate size: right for a mince pie, a slice of stollen, a couple of biscuits or a piece of Christmas cake rather than a full roast dinner. They are meant for food, so they can go straight into use on Christmas Eve for the treats left out for a visitor down the chimney, at a family tea in December, or alongside the coffee when friends call round in the run-up to the big day. With two different faces, they make a natural pair for two people sharing a festive breakfast. Out of use, they sit happily on a dresser or kitchen shelf through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the care is straightforward: both plates can go in the dishwasher and the microwave, so a mince pie can be warmed through on the plate and the plate cleaned in the dishwasher afterwards. They are not for the oven, so keep them out of it. The faces are painted by hand over the raised relief, which gives each plate its character up close. For styling, set the bearded plate and Granny side by side at the top of a place setting, or lay them on a red runner with a few candy canes for a quick seasonal table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet of 2\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\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandpaint\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\u003eYes\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\u003e0.54KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the plates made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth plates are 100% stoneware, embossed with a raised face and painted by hand, so each face stands slightly proud of the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the plates go in the dishwasher and the microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
