Description
This earthenware plate takes the shape of a standing cow, with glossy black patches across a white body, black ears and hooves, and a little pink udder picked out beneath. It is a cheerful farmyard piece in ceramic, cut to the cow's own outline from its ears to its hooves rather than set inside a round rim, so the shape itself is the decoration. The plate measures 26.4cm long and 20cm wide, and at just 2.8cm deep it sits low and flat, with a gently raised edge running round the outline.
We think it suits a country-style kitchen best, laid on a dresser shelf among jugs and mugs or on a windowsill where the light catches the glaze. On a hall table it makes a handy spot for keys, and on a dressing table it keeps rings, earrings and hair clips together in one place. Anyone who loves cows, farm life or a bit of countryside charm indoors will get a smile from it. It makes a thoughtful gift for Mum, especially if she collects animal pieces or keeps a cow theme going in her kitchen.
The plate is made from earthenware, a type of ceramic, and finished with a glossy glaze that gives the black patches their shine. Because it lies flat and low, it needs no stand, though a plate stand of your own will hold it upright on a shelf if you prefer to show off the full cow. For care, we suggest wiping it with a damp cloth and drying it with a soft cloth. Handle it as you would any ceramic piece, since earthenware can chip if knocked. As a present, it needs little more than tissue paper and a ribbon, and with a card it makes a warm, everyday reminder of the countryside.
