{"product_id":"rectangular-earthenware-cake-plate-with-christmas-houses-cream","title":"Rectangular Earthenware Cake Plate with Christmas Houses - Cream","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular earthenware cake plate carries a little Christmas street across its cream ground: five illustrated houses and a church with a clock tower, set between tall green trees. Wreaths hang on the house fronts, garlands drape beneath the windows, and red front doors pick up the colour of the borders, where looped green garlands are tied with red bows above a fine sprig pattern. A green line runs around the rim, and the pierced handle at each end carries the same garland and bows. It is 35.3cm long, 13cm wide and 1.8cm deep, a long, slim shape that suits a loaf cake or a neat row of mince pies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt belongs on the Christmas table. Lay a sliced stollen, a yule log or a line of shortbread fingers along its length and pass it round by the handles, or set it down the middle of a narrow table, where a round plate would crowd the place settings. Through December it sits just as happily on a sideboard or a dresser, ready with something sweet when visitors call, and it is equally handy for the Christmas Eve buffet or the Boxing Day cheese board. As a Christmas gift, it is one that comes out every winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is earthenware, with its illustration and borders in green and red on a cream ground. Earthenware likes gentle handling, so we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water, dry it straight away and take care not to knock the rim or handles against hard surfaces. Store it flat in a cupboard between seasons and it will be ready when the decorations come out again. For an easy table, lay a green garland down either side and let the little houses do the talking; as a gift, tuck a packet of shortbread on top before you wrap it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarthenware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35.3 x 13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.631kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOccasion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChristmas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the cake plate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is 35.3cm long, 13cm wide and 1.8cm deep.
