Description
This oval ceramic platter carries a red poinsettia at each end, tied with a sweeping red bow and gathered with brown pine cones, small holly leaves and sprigs of green pine. The decoration is raised from the surface, so the bows and flowers stand out in relief against the creamy white ground, while gold scrollwork runs along the top and bottom of the rim to frame the plain centre. It measures 29.5cm across at its longest and 20.5cm at its widest, and it is 2cm deep, a generous size that sits comfortably in the middle of a laid table without crowding the place settings.
We see it at the heart of the Christmas table, carrying sliced stollen, festive biscuits or a spread of nibbles, and it is just as much at home on a sideboard or dresser through December, where the poinsettias and bows add colour to the room. The red and white palette with its touches of gold suits a traditional festive scheme, and the plain centre leaves plenty of space for whatever you choose to serve. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, a festive piece that will come out of the cupboard year after year.
The platter is made from ceramic, with the bows, poinsettias, pine cones and scrolls modelled in raised relief and picked out in red, green, brown and gold. Its gently raised rim gives a neat edge, and the flat centre offers a broad, even surface for serving. For care, we suggest wiping it with a soft damp cloth and drying it straight away, taking a little extra care around the raised decoration and the gold scrollwork. Pile it high with mince pies on Christmas Eve, or wrap it in tissue for a Christmas gift that brings a little seasonal colour to someone's table.
