Description
This little bird is a stoneware dish, handpainted in green, with a floral pattern of leafy garlands, small blossoms and a sweeping wing traced across its back. We list it as a platter, but it is a small one: 14cm long, 8cm wide and 1.5cm tall, sized for one person's treats rather than the middle of the table. The edge rises gently all the way round to form a shallow well, and the tail narrows to a neat point. It weighs 0.08KG, so it is light enough to move from tray to table.
In the kitchen it earns its place on a tea tray, holding a couple of biscuits beside a cup, or next to the kettle as a rest for a used teabag. It is a good size for a few sweets, and it also works as a spoon rest while you cook. Away from the kitchen it makes a pretty ring dish on a dressing table or bedside table, a place to drop rings and earrings at the end of the day. It suits anyone who loves birds and painted florals, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for someone who collects kitchen ceramics.
The dish is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and its finish is handpainted, with a gentle gloss across the surface. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a small pastry on it and wash it afterwards without a second thought. For styling, lay it on a painted tea tray beside a favourite cup, or place a pair either side of a dressing table mirror for jewellery. The styling props shown are not included.
