Description
This stoneware Christmas plate is 16cm across and 3cm tall, covered edge to edge in wavy stripes that ripple across the surface like a twist of sugar candy. The pattern is a decal decoration finished with handpainted details, and a thin contrasting line traces the rim, so the plate looks cheerful on the table before anything goes on it. At 16cm it is a side plate or dessert plate size rather than a dinner plate, and at 0.26KG it is light enough to hand round with ease. The colourway is multicoloured, so it mixes happily with plain plates or with festive tableware you already own.
Its natural place is the Christmas table: a mince pie or a slice of Christmas cake beside each setting, a side plate for bread at dinner, or biscuits handed round with coffee on Boxing Day. Through the rest of December it suits breakfast toast, cheese and crackers after supper, or a treat left out on Christmas Eve. The shallow form and low rim keep food easy to reach, and the size works as well for a party tea as for the pudding course. Because the stripes run right across the plate, it still looks lively once the crumbs are all that is left.
Stoneware is fired at high temperature, which makes it dense and hardwearing. The decal decoration with handpainted details gives the wavy stripes a crisp, graphic finish. The maker confirms this plate goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so mince pies can be warmed through on it and it can join the rest of the dishes after a long lunch. For styling, lay it on a larger plain dinner plate so the stripes frame the dessert course, or stack a few on the sideboard beside the cake ready for pudding.
