Description
This round stoneware serving platter is 35cm across and 4cm tall, finished in a multicoloured reactive glaze. At that size it is a good step up from a dinner plate, so it is made for food meant to be shared rather than a single portion. The shallow depth gives it a low, gently raised rim around a broad, flat centre, which makes it a true platter rather than a serving bowl. A reactive glaze is one whose colours move and blend as it fires, so the pattern comes from the kiln rather than from a brush, and the wide surface here gives that glaze room to show.
Bring it to the table for a roast chicken, a spread of grilled vegetables, a heap of salad or cheese, crackers and fruit laid out for guests. It belongs in the middle of a dining table at weekend lunches, family suppers and evenings with friends, where everyone can reach it and help themselves. In the kitchen it is just as useful for laying out prepared ingredients before you start cooking, or for carrying a finished dish from the oven to the table.
It is made from 100% stoneware, and stoneware holds heat well, which suits a platter that goes in the oven. The maker states it can go in the oven, the microwave and the dishwasher, so you can warm it before serving, bake straight onto it, reheat leftovers on it and clean it the easy way afterwards. At 1.58KG it has a solid, substantial feel in the hand. When it is not in use, stand it upright on an open shelf or a dresser so the glaze stays on view, and at the table set it on plain linen or a wooden board to let the glaze lead.

Frequently Asked
Can the platter go in the dishwasher?
Yes. The maker states it can go in the dishwasher, so after a meal it goes straight in with the rest of your plates and bowls.
Can I use it in the oven or the microwave?
Yes. The maker states it can go in both the oven and the microwave, so you can warm it before serving, bake on it or reheat food on it.

It is 35cm across and 4cm tall, which makes it larger than a dinner plate and sized for sharing dishes in the middle of the table.
What is it made from and how heavy is it?
