This Round Platter is beautifully sculpted to capture the generous curves and intricate veining of a cabbage leaf, finished in rich green with delicate hand-painted white detailing.

At 13 inches, it makes a wonderful centrepiece for the table, equally lovely piled with fruit, cheeses, hors d’oeuvres or something freshly baked. And when not in use, it is quite happy to be admired on its own.

I love the way it brings a little English country garden charm to the table. Whimsical without being fussy, practical but wonderfully decorative, it is the sort of piece that makes an everyday gathering feel that little bit more special.
