Description
This kids' melamine plate puts a great white shark right across the middle of mealtimes, swimming through a pale aqua blue sea with its jaws open and a neat row of teeth on show. The shark is drawn in soft greys with a white belly, its fins spread wide and its tail flicking towards the rim, in a gentle watercolour style that feels closer to a natural history book than a cartoon. The plate is round, about 21.5cm across and 1.6cm high, with a plain white underside. At 156g it is light enough for small hands to carry from the kitchen to the table.
We think it suits everyday family meals best: breakfast toast, a lunchtime sandwich, teatime fish fingers and peas, or sliced fruit and cucumber for an afternoon snack. At 21.5cm across, it gives a child a proper plate of their own without crowding a small place at the table. The lively illustration gives children something to talk about while they finish their food, and the light weight makes it easy for little ones to help set their own place. It fits neatly into a family kitchen cupboard alongside the everyday crockery.
The plate is melamine and is made in Thailand. It is dishwasher safe on the top rack only, and it is not for use in the microwave, so warm food in another dish first and serve it on the plate once it is ready. Between washes, a wipe with a damp cloth keeps the grey and white shark looking crisp against its blue sea. On the table it sits happily with plain white bowls or bright napkins, leaving the shark to do the talking. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cheerful little present for a child who loves the sea.
