Can I let you in on a secret? I don’t actually like mince pies! There, I said it. BUT Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without one, so here’s my ‘token mince pie platter’ — perfect for filling the rest with cakes, biscuits, sweets, and all your favourite festive treats.
 
Of course, if you do like mince pies (weird, but hey, you do you), you can always stack the real deal on top. Just don’t try to eat the clay one — I take no responsibility for any dental emergencies!
 
The life-sized clay mince pies are firmly fixed to the platter and dusted with (pottery) icing sugar — naturally. Adorable, festive, and 100% untouchable. Seriously, don’t try it!
 
Perfectly playful, perfectly festive, and full of handmade charm.
 
Available in limited sizes/shapes for this drop:
large oval platter with mince pie in the top/centre of the platter - 35cm long, 26cm wide, 2cm tall - £55
narrow-long oval platter - 38cm long, 16cm wide, 1.5cm tall - £40  (this has been discounted from £50 by 20%  to £40 because there is a slight bit of speckled/bobbling in the glaze in one area... please see pictures to see what we mean. It doesn't impact its use but it is visible...)
 
👀As each piece is unique, the platter you receive might not be the one in the picture!
 
Caring for your pottery:
Marigold and Lettice pottery is made from white earthenware clay and designed to be used and enjoyed every day. We personally use our pieces in the oven, dishwasher, and microwave. However, to prolong the life of your pottery, handwashing is the gentler choice, as dishwashers can be tough on handmade items due to high-pressure jets and strong detergents and may overtime cause damage and speed up any grazing in the glaze. 
While we do microwave our own pieces, for longevity we suggest heating food in the oven where possible.

Our china looks and feels very (very) different to mass-produced pottery; it’s not fine or delicate, but wonderfully chunky and full of texture, you’ll see thumb prints, makers marks, glaze specks/drips and heaps of individuality. We call it perfectly imperfect pottery and firmly believe it’s all the better for it!
