Description
This cream ceramic dinner plate brings a ring of cheerful gingerbread men to the Christmas table. Four little gingerbread figures with smiling faces, white icing trim and peppermint sweet buttons march around the edge, each wrapped in a striped scarf in red and white or green and white. Between them sit four swirled lollipops in the same festive colours, every one tied with a tiny bow. The figures and sweets are raised from the surface, so the design has a lovely touch of depth and catches the light on a laid table. The plate is round, 19.5cm across and 1.5cm deep, which makes it just right for biscuits, a slice of cake or a mince pie or two.
We think it earns its place through the whole of the Christmas season. Set it out with a stack of homemade gingerbread when friends call round, use it for festive afternoon tea, or bring it out on Christmas Eve for the mince pie left out for Father Christmas. Between meals it looks just as cheerful sitting on a dresser or kitchen shelf among the seasonal decorations. It also makes a warm little Christmas gift, lovely tucked into a hamper with a batch of homemade biscuits.
The plate is made from ceramic with a smooth cream glaze, and the gingerbread men and lollipops are picked out in warm tan, red and green, with fine white detailing for the icing. As with any decorated ceramic, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, keeping scourers away from the raised details. For a gift, wrap it in cream tissue with a red ribbon; for the table, set it beside plain cream plates and let the gingerbread men do the talking.
