Footed Ceramic Dessert Dish

A small footed ceramic dish with a scalloped, flower-shaped rim, in a range of soft glazes. Raised on its foot, a few strawberries, a sweet or a mooncake becomes something served rather than set down, which is why these are traditionally used for tea-time sweets.

Small enough to give one to each person at the table, and in mixed colours they look deliberate rather than mismatched. They work just as well for olives, nuts or a sauce beside a main course.

Why you'll love it

• Raised on a foot — lifts a small serving off the table.
• Scalloped rim — a petal shape that looks finished with anything on it.
• Soft glazes — mix colours across a table.
• One per person — sized for individual sweets and snacks.

Details

• Material: glazed ceramic, footed
• Ideal for: tea-time sweets, fruit, desserts, olives, nuts

A footed dish is less stable than a flat one, so keep it away from the edge of a busy table.
