Description
Our Jolly plate is a cream stoneware Christmas plate with a ring of nutcracker figures standing in a single row around the rim. It is 16cm across and 3cm tall, which is a side plate size rather than a dinner plate. That makes it the right size for a mince pie, a slice of Christmas cake, a few biscuits or the bread roll beside the main course. A fine line traces the outer edge, and the centre is left plain, so the food sits on a clean cream ground with the figures framing it. It weighs 0.26KG.
It is made for the festive table. Lay one at each place for pudding on Christmas Day, or bring a few out with the cheese and crackers on Boxing Day. You could also keep some by the kettle for the mince pies and stollen that come and go all through December. It works just as well on a sideboard buffet, where guests help themselves to small bites, and the little nutcracker soldiers make it a cheerful plate to hand round at a children's party. For anyone who keeps a cupboard of tableware for Christmas alone, it is an easy piece to add.
The plate is 100% stoneware, finished with decal decoration and handpainted details. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which is why it stands up so well to everyday use. It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a slice of tart on it in the oven, carry it to the table and wash it up in the dishwasher afterwards with the rest of the dinner things. For a layered place setting, sit it on a larger plain dinner plate: the cream ground and the ring of nutcrackers frame the pudding course without crowding the table.
