Description
This is a dinner plate made for Christmas, in cream stoneware with a red rim. Swags of fir garland run around the plate and meet in little hearts. From them hang ornaments drawn in a light, storybook way: a pig tied with a bow, a horn, a candy cane, a drum and a checked heart. At 25.5cm across it is a full dinner plate size, with room for turkey, roast potatoes and all the trimmings, and at 3cm high it is a shallow plate with a gently raised edge. It is 100% stoneware and weighs 0.772KG.
Set it out for Christmas dinner, for Christmas Eve suppers and for the long, slow lunches of Boxing Day. Or bring it out through December for mince pies, cake and biscuits. It suits the host who likes the table to feel like Christmas before anything is served: the motifs do the decorating, so a dining room or kitchen table needs little else to look festive. Because the drawing is cheerful rather than formal, it sits as well at a relaxed family meal as at a dinner party, and it makes a warm present for anyone who hosts the big day each year.
The decoration is a decal, finished with details painted by hand. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, a good material for plates that come out every Christmas. It goes in the dishwasher, which makes clearing up after the big meal simple, and it goes in the microwave and the oven too, so you can warm the plates before serving or reheat leftovers on the plate itself. For styling, lay it on a linen or hessian runner with gold cutlery and a sprig of real greenery; the red rim picks up red napkins, crackers or candles and ties the table together.
