A rim that catches the light
What size is the platter?
It measures approximately 31.5 cm across and only 2.5 cm high, or 12.5 inches wide. The wide, shallow proportions give plenty of presentation space while keeping everything on it easy to reach.
Does the low rim keep food on the platter?
The gently raised edge is enough to contain what is on it without obstructing a serving spoon or a cake slice. Because the platter is shallow rather than bowl-shaped, food is lifted straight off the surface instead of out over a wall.
Is the fluted rim moulded into the glass?
Yes. The radiating ridges are moulded into the piece itself, creating a fan-inspired effect that catches the light around the edge. There is no applied trim and no printed pattern, so nothing can lift or wear away.
What can I serve on it?
Tarts, cheesecakes, cupcakes, pastries and biscuits all suit the flat centre, and it works equally well for savoury food such as cheese, appetisers, sandwiches, sushi or bread. The clear ribbed glass shows colourful food particularly well.
Does it work as a fruit bowl?
It does, and the shallow shape is the reason. At only 2.5 cm high nothing gets buried at the bottom, so apples, pears and grapes stay visible and actually get eaten rather than forgotten under the top layer.
How do I clean the fluted rim?
Wash with warm water and a soft cloth, working around the flutes with the grain of the moulding. The ridges are broad and open rather than finely cut, so there is nothing awkward to reach into.
How does it differ from the 32.2 cm scalloped platter?
This one has a deeply fluted rim of radiating ridges and sits slightly narrower at 31.5 cm, with a shallow 2.5 cm profile. The scalloped platter is a touch wider with a lotus-inspired wave edge. Both are flat clear glass, so the choice comes down to which rim you prefer.
Is it a good choice for someone who bakes?
It is a natural choice for a baker or anyone who likes to have people round, and it reads as decorative even when it is empty. That makes it easy to give without knowing exactly how it will be used.
