Description
This is a small oval serving platter in stoneware, 23.5cm long, 14.5cm wide and 2cm tall, with a scalloped rim and the words "Ooh La La" painted across its centre in tall, loose lettering. The whole piece is handpainted and multicoloured, with a dotted border running right round the wavy edge to frame the words like a little sign. At this size it is the platter you reach for when there is a small amount of something good to put out rather than a whole meal. It weighs 0.39KG, light enough to carry round a room in one hand.
It earns its place when friends come round: a handful of olives, a few slices of cheese and cured meat, or macarons and chocolates with coffee after dinner. Being shallow, it suits dry nibbles and small bites better than anything saucy. Put it on the coffee table for drinks, on the kitchen counter beside the wine, or in the middle of a buffet so guests can help themselves. It also makes a neat tray for a dessert you are bringing out to share, and the cheerful lettering makes it a natural pick for birthdays, hen nights and celebrations at home. Anyone who likes a bit of humour on the table will enjoy using it.
The platter is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that is a sound choice for serving ware, and the decoration is painted by hand. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven, so you can warm a few pastries or a slice of tart on it and carry it straight out to guests. For styling, give it a little space so the lettering can be read, place it beside plain glasses or a small vase of flowers, and between parties lean it upright on a kitchen shelf.
