Spode Christmas Tree 16-Inch Oval Platter

This oval platter is 16-inches long, an oversized version of the 14-inch platter that should suit even the largest bird, fish, or ham at a holiday gathering. The plate is white with the pattern's calling-card Christmas tree design at center; the rim of the plate is kissed with alternating mistletoe and holly, and the edges, which form an octagon and are slightly scalloped, are circled in a rich green border, creating a simple and vibrant holiday look. The buffet plate's made in England of Imperialware, Spode's high-quality earthenware, and is safe for the oven, dishwasher, freezer, and microwave. Place in a cold oven and heat gradually up to 100 degrees C (about 200 degrees F); if using the dishwasher, contact Spode for a list of recommended detergents. --Jeff Dalto
