Description
This ceramic plate is shaped as a smiling Christmas face, with rosy cheeks, round green glasses and a little button nose, framed by curled white hair under a red hat. A white band runs across the hat, trimmed with a painted green leaf sprig, and a red frilled collar curves along the bottom edge. The glaze is a glossy red and white with a soft peach face, and the details are raised in relief so the hair and collar catch the light. It measures 20.5cm along its longer side and 16.5cm across the shorter, and it is 2cm deep.
We see it as a decorative plate for the Christmas season, at home on a dresser shelf, a mantelpiece or a sideboard among cards and greenery. Its folk-painted look, with the leaf sprig and simple round glasses, sits well with a Nordic style of festive decorating, and its size keeps it easy to fit into a crowded seasonal shelf. It also makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves to bring out the same friendly faces every December, and it suits a kitchen dresser just as well as a hallway table.
The plate is made of ceramic and finished in a shiny glaze. It rests flat on a shelf, or you can stand it upright on a plate stand of your own to show off the face. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and give it a padded spot when you pack it away in January, as ceramic can chip if knocked. Set it beside a sprig of real greenery and a string of fairy lights, and it will greet everyone who walks past right through the season.
