Description
This round stoneware tray is a shallow serving dish with a spiral pattern that winds out from its centre and a wavy, scalloped rim that rises and dips all the way round. It measures 29cm across and 5.5cm tall: a generous sharing size, with a raised edge that keeps food in place. Made of 100% stoneware in brown, it weighs 1.3KG, which gives it a reassuring heft in the hand and keeps it steady on the table.
Because it is approved for food, it earns a place on the dining table as a sharing dish for warm bread, fruit, cheese or roasted vegetables. The shallow depth suits finger food rather than anything ladled: olives and crackers before supper, a cake sliced at the table, or a heap of clementines in winter. Away from mealtimes it works just as well as a catch-all for keys on a hallway console, a home for shells or candles on a coffee table, or a resting place for rings and earrings on a dressing table. We think it suits anyone who likes tableware with an irregular, free-flowing outline rather than a perfectly even edge.
Care is simple: it can go in the dishwasher, so it goes straight in after a meal with the rest of your tableware. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so warm food in another dish and bring it to the table in this one. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the brown outer wall and underside have a softly textured, earthy look that sets off the swirling pattern inside. For styling, we like it set alone at the centre of a wooden table, letting the spiral and wavy rim do the work, or paired with plain linen napkins so the pattern stays the focus.
