This large, rectangle platter is scattered with strawberries makes a perfect serving piece, fruit bowl (plate), tray for candles or condiments, just about anything. This platter is perfect for all of those uses and would look as good overflowing with a Sunday roast as it would with a (fruit) salad on.
The strawberries are all hand painted and the glazed effect is quite lovely - perfectly imperfect, reds, and tones of green in the the stalk. Please note that they aren't mass-produced or transfer painted, they are handmade and handpainted so each is unique and the glaze effects will be different because of that.
It might be beautiful but it is very useable too as it happily goes in the dishwasher, oven etc.

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!
Marigold and Lettice pottery is (hand)made to be loved and used, and happily goes in the oven, dishwasher and microwave.

WIDTH LENGTH HEIGHT Large rectangle 29 cm 35 cm 3 cm Marigold and Lettice pottery is made to be used, loved and enjoyed; it’s made using sturdy earthenware clay and a thick white glaze. This means it’s hard-wearing and every piece can safely go in the oven, dishwasher, microwave and even the freezer.
Each piece that is made by Marigold and Lettice is totally handmade and a one-off. So, if you see thumb prints in the clay or the glaze that may be thicker in some parts than others, it's because each piece is unique and is what gives our chunky china its specialness, and a different look and feel to mass-produced pottery.
When you first get your chunky china piece you may hear a ‘ping’ - especially the first time the pottery meets with water. If you do, please don’t worry, it's really quite normal and will stop as soon as the glaze/clay settles down together. You may also notice that the bottom of every piece is left unglazed, and this may leave a slight residue on your shelves, but can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.
Like with all china, over time you may also notice signs of use in the glaze, but these are just signs of the china being well-loved. If this is the case, please be assured, the piece will still be perfectly fine to use.
