The grand oval platter is the table's most ceremonial vessel, and the Festive Blooms Oval Platter fills that role with bold botanical magnificence. At 16 by 11 inches, the luminous white stoneware surface is bordered on all sides by the collection's most vibrant botanical composition: the large scarlet anemone bloom painted in expressive, confident brushwork, its dark jeweled center giving way to vivid petals, then to glossy holly leaves, bright berry clusters, and soft winter pine that complete the festive wreath. Set it at the center of the table before the feast begins. Carry the centerpiece dish to it with ceremony. Let the blooms announce that the season is fully, beautifully here, that the most generous, most botanically vibrant, most artfully painted holiday platter in the collection has arrived at the table and that everything placed upon its luminous white surface will be carried with the bold, confident botanical grace of the Festive Blooms collection.
