{"product_id":"maxima-stoneware-platter-blue","title":"Maxima Stoneware Platter - Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hand-painted stoneware platter, an oval 29cm long, 16.5cm wide and 4cm tall, decorated with plump lemons on leafy blue branches and framed by a band of short brushstrokes in deep blue around the rim. We love that the decoration is painted by hand onto a solid glaze: the pattern keeps the loose, lively line of a brush rather than the flat sameness of a print. At that size it is a generous serving platter for a side dish or a shared starter, and its low sides keep dressings and juices where they belong. Stoneware is dense and sturdy, and at 0.75KG it feels substantial without being awkward to pass across a table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts long, narrow shape suits the middle of a table laid for lunch or supper: grilled vegetables, a fish fillet with lemon, sliced cheeses, olives and bread, or a few biscuits with coffee. It goes in the oven, so you can warm or finish a dish in it and carry it straight to the table, and it goes in the microwave for reheating leftovers. It works as hard on a weekday as it does at a summer garden lunch or a festive spread, and when it is not in use the lemon pattern brings a bright, sunny note to a kitchen shelf or a dresser.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare is simple: the platter goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, and it is made for use with food. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits a dish warmed through in the oven before serving. Hand-painted decoration is applied brush by brush, so small differences in the pattern from one platter to the next are part of its character. For styling, lay it lengthways down a narrow table with fresh herbs scattered alongside, or pair it with plain wooden boards and simple linen. The styling props shown are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4cm\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\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandpainted decorations on solid glaze\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\u003eYes\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\u003e0.75KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the platter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 29cm long, 16.5cm wide and 4cm tall, a long oval that suits a side dish, a shared starter or a board of cheese and bread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made of 100% stoneware, finished with hand-painted decoration on a solid glaze, and it weighs 0.75KG.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
