Description
This small round stoneware plate brings a cheerful note to the Christmas table, with a glossy white glaze, a fine dark green rim and a festive greeting lettered in the same green at its centre. The greeting is one of four: cosy christmas, SNUGGLE season, why don't you STAY A WHILE? or jingle all the way, each set in a relaxed mix of flowing script and simple capitals. It measures 21cm across and 2.5cm deep. That is a handy side plate size, holding a slice of cake or a couple of mince pies without crowding the table. The low, gently curved edge keeps crumbs in place, and the clean white ground lets the green lettering show clearly.
We think it suits the whole festive season, from a Christmas Eve supper to a slow Boxing Day breakfast. Lay it beside a dinner plate for bread or pudding, use it to pass round biscuits when friends call in, or keep it by the kettle for an afternoon slice of stollen. The words lean towards warm, homely hosting, so it sits happily with plain white tableware or brighter festive china. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, tucked into a hamper with a few homemade treats.
The plate is made from stoneware with a gloss finish that gives the white a soft shine and a smooth surface. As good practice for glazed ceramic, we suggest a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. This helps keep the green rim and lettering looking crisp from one Christmas to the next. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue and store it flat in a cupboard. For a simple styling idea, stack it on a plain white dinner plate with a sprig of holly or a folded linen napkin, so the green rim picks up the colour of the greenery.
