Description
This oval stoneware tray is 35cm long, 17.5cm wide and 3.5cm tall, a long, slim shape made for laying food out in a line rather than in a heap. The white glaze is flecked all over with fine speckles, and across it runs a pattern of wavy, interlocking lines that meet in rows of diamonds, with two small eye motifs set among them. A low rim runs all the way round the edge, and the tray weighs 0.83KG. It is a pattern with character, yet the white ground keeps it calm enough for everyday use.
Its length makes it a natural choice for food served in a row: sushi, a run of cheeses with crackers, sliced fruit, antipasti or a cut loaf for the table. We like it down the middle of a dining table without crowding the plates either side, and it looks just as at home on a kitchen counter or a sideboard when friends come round for drinks. Away from mealtimes it makes a tidy tray for a dressing table or a hallway console, gathering keys, jewellery, a candle or a small vase. It suits anyone who likes a little pattern on the table, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming gift.
It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing material that holds heat well. It goes in the oven and the microwave, so it can warm bread or a few roasted vegetables and then go straight to the table, and it goes in the dishwasher once the meal is finished. The textured lines of the pattern catch the light, giving the surface some depth. For a simple table, set it on linen beside plain white plates and let the pattern carry the interest; for a relaxed one, pair it with wood and rattan.
