Portmeirion Sophie Conran White Small Oval Platter

Product Description The Sophie Conran Collection was designed exclusively for Portmeirion. This collection is as durable and functional as it is beautiful. Sophie is part of the world-famous Conran lifestyle and culinary dynasty. The simplistic and organic nature of this collection makes it perfect for every style and taste. Each beautifully delicate item meets the hard-wearing needs of today's family and culinary experts. Available in White, Bisque and Celadon, the look can be as simple or diverse as your tastes demand. Amazon.com This simple, beautiful, and functional platter is part of an entire tableware collection designed by Sophie Conran, an English food writer with her own gourmet pie company. Conran infuses her namesake tableware with a flowing organic nature and tactile expression, as evidenced by the ridges and dipped rims that recall handcrafted pottery. Made of porcelain expressly for Portmeirion, the collection comes in white with select pieces available in cool blue celadon and a creamy biscuit color. Measuring 11-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, this oval platter is the smallest of three sizes. With its slightly wavy and uneven rim, giving it a rustic yet modern appeal, the platter compellingly serves up roasted vegetables, potatoes, sweets, and more. Safe for use in the oven or microwave, and even the freezer, the durable yet lightweight dish can go hot right to the table, and after use, scrubs clean by hand or slips into the dishwasher. The platter makes a great gift for the home cook who appreciates life's simple pleasures. --Ann Bieri
