Description
This round stoneware cake stand is 28cm across and 9.5cm tall, with a gently wavy rim and a sturdy pedestal foot. Stripes run down the underside of the plate and around the foot, while the top carries soft, swirled brushwork, so the whole piece reads as multicoloured rather than a single shade. A 28cm top suits a family-sized round cake, and its 9.5cm height raises the bake just enough to give it its own place among the plates. It weighs 1.41KG, a solid weight that keeps it settled as each slice is lifted away.
Cakes, tarts and biscuits can sit straight on the surface, so there is no need for a doily or paper. Bring it out for birthday teas, weekend baking, a coffee morning with friends or the pudding course at a dinner party. On a kitchen counter it keeps a sponge or a stack of thin biscuits within easy reach; on the dining table it makes the bake the centrepiece. Between bakes, the raised foot suits a small pile of fruit or a few pastries on a sideboard, and the striped profile is pretty enough to leave out on display.
Part of it is decorated by hand, and the stripes show the slight irregularity of a brush, so no two lines sit quite alike. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven, so a fruit tart can be warmed through on it before serving. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, a good material for a piece that comes out often. For styling, let the stripes lead: pair it with plain white plates, or set it beside other striped tableware for a relaxed, layered tea table, and keep the bake simple so the wavy rim stays in view.
