Description
This is a round serving platter in white stoneware for the Christmas table, with a ring of embossed pine sprigs circling the flat centre like a winter wreath. The pattern is raised in relief rather than painted on, so it shows as soft shadow and texture, white on white, and leaves the middle plain for whatever you serve. At 34cm across and 5cm tall it is a proper platter size, broad enough to carry a main dish to the table, with a low upright rim that helps keep juices and crumbs on the platter.
We see it doing most of its work between the first week of December and the last of the leftovers. It is generous enough for a roast joint, a heap of roast potatoes or a ring of sausage rolls, and just as good for a cheeseboard on Christmas Eve or mince pies passed round after dinner. Because the pattern sits towards the edge, the food goes in the middle and the pine sprigs stay on show around it. Outside the festive weeks it suits a long winter lunch, a Sunday roast or a dessert table, and plain white sits easily beside most tableware you already own.
The platter is 100% stoneware and weighs 1.83KG, so it has real heft in the hand. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well. It can go in the oven, so you can warm it before the food goes on, and it goes in the microwave and the dishwasher, which counts for a lot after a long family meal. For styling, set it in the centre of the table on a linen or jute runner and let the embossed ring frame the food; the styling props shown are not included.
