Small oval Polish Pottery platter by Ceramika Artystyczna, 21.5 × 12.5 cm. Perfect for appetizers, pralines, pastries, whipped cream, cheese and snacks, or as a decorative tray for keys, jewellery and small items.
Sometimes the smallest pieces of tableware are the ones that become the most useful in everyday life. This small oval serving platter made of Polish Pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna is exactly that kind of versatile piece.
With its compact dimensions of approximately 21.5 × 12.5 cm, it is pleasantly easy to handle and fits perfectly wherever a large serving platter would simply be too much. At the same time, it provides enough space to beautifully present small dishes, delicacies, desserts and decorative arrangements.
The platter is approximately 2 cm high and features a gently raised rim.
Its maximum capacity when filled to the brim is approximately 160 ml, and it weighs approximately 330 g.
This is the smallest of four different sizes of this oval platter.
The other sizes measure approximately 23 × 18 cm, 31.5 × 21 cm and 45.5 × 27 cm.
Combining the different sizes creates a wonderfully harmonious serving collection for the dining table, buffet, restaurant or hotel.
The smallest version has a very special charm of its own.
While large platters are ideal for roasts, generous cheese selections, cold cuts or main dishes, this small platter is perfect for individual components and carefully arranged delicacies.
It can be placed next to a dinner plate, positioned between several place settings or used as a small additional serving platter at breakfast.
Combining several sizes of the oval platter creates an especially attractive table setting.
The largest platter can hold the main course.
The medium platter can be used for side dishes.
A smaller platter can carry bread or cheese.
And this smallest version is perfect for butter, pralines, small desserts and other delicate accompaniments.
This size is excellent as an appetizer platter.
Serve a little smoked salmon with lemon and dill, tomato with mozzarella, a few slices of carpaccio, grilled vegetables or a small arrangement of cheese, grapes and nuts.
For a multi course meal, a small oval platter can create a more interesting presentation than an ordinary round plate.
Its elongated shape naturally guides the arrangement of ingredients and makes it easy to create small culinary compositions.
Olives, marinated artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, grilled peppers, feta, cheese cubes or stuffed peppers can all be beautifully presented on this platter.
For a tapas evening, several small platters can be distributed around the table.
Instead of one large central serving dish, this creates a relaxed table setting where everyone can easily help themselves.
A few slices of baguette with olive oil, herbs and Mediterranean delicacies can also be presented beautifully.
The small oval platter is almost made for pralines and fine chocolates.
A few premium pralines do not need to disappear inside a large bowl. Presented on a small decorative ceramic platter, they receive the attention they deserve.
Serve four to six pralines, chocolate truffles or small pieces of fine chocolate alongside coffee.
Add a few berries, a strawberry or some nuts and a simple sweet treat becomes a small dessert composition.
In cafés, restaurants and hotels, this kind of presentation can also look much more refined than an ordinary saucer.
A particularly charming use is for serving freshly whipped cream.
Instead of placing whipped cream on the table in its packaging or in an ordinary bowl, it can be attractively arranged on this small platter immediately before serving.
Using a piping bag, several individual whipped cream rosettes can be placed next to one another.
Add strawberries, raspberries, blueberries or fine chocolate shavings for decoration.
The platter can then be placed in the centre of the coffee table so several guests can enjoy the whipped cream with cake, waffles or desserts.
For a beautifully prepared afternoon coffee table, this is an attractive alternative to the traditional cream bowl.
A slice of cheesecake, apple cake or gateau can be presented beautifully on this platter.
It is equally suitable for madeleines, macarons, petit fours, biscuits and other small pastries.
You can even create a small dessert platter for two.
A few strawberries, pralines, chocolate and small touches of cream can turn the platter into a delightful dessert to share.
For afternoon coffee or tea, it is ideal for biscuits, pastries and small pieces of cake.
This little platter can quickly become a favourite at the breakfast table.
Use it for a croissant, a small selection of cheese or cold cuts, sliced fruit, butter, tomatoes or cucumber.
For breakfast for two, several small platters can be used so bread, cheese, cold cuts and sweet accompaniments remain separate while still creating a harmonious overall presentation.
At brunch, it is ideal for small portions placed between guests.
Its compact size makes this platter particularly suitable for a lovingly prepared breakfast in bed.
Arrange a croissant, strawberries, grapes, pralines or small pastries on it.
Add a cup of coffee or tea and perhaps a small flower to create a personal surprise for someone special.
Whether for a birthday, Valentine's Day, an anniversary or simply a quiet Sunday morning together, a few carefully selected treats can turn an ordinary breakfast into a memorable moment.
Small portions of cheese and cold cuts can also be presented beautifully on the oval platter.
For one person or a couple, arrange Brie, hard cheese, grapes and walnuts.
For supper, use it for a few slices of ham, sausage or cheese.
In professional gastronomy, it can serve as a small cheese platter, an accompaniment to bread or an individually arranged portion.
On a larger dining table, the platter can be used for serving butter to several guests.
Small pieces of butter or decorative butter rosettes can be arranged attractively on the surface.
Herb butter for grilled food or baguette can also be presented this way.
Decorated with rosemary, parsley or edible flowers, even a simple serving of butter can become an attractive element of the table setting.
The small platter is also useful at a barbecue.
Herb butter, lemon wedges, roasted garlic, small portions of grilled vegetables and other accompaniments can be served on it.
Several small platters can be distributed along a large table so guests do not constantly have to reach for one large central serving dish.
The elongated oval shape also works beautifully for a few pieces of sushi, nigiri or small Asian appetizers.
A little pickled ginger and wasabi can be placed alongside.
Spring rolls, dumplings and other small dishes create an attractive contrast against the decorative Polish Pottery.
For restaurants, cafés, hotels and catering businesses, this small platter is especially useful for clearly defined individual portions.
It can be used as an appetizer platter, dessert platter, side dish, praline platter or for a small chef's greeting.
A restaurant might arrange three small appetizers on it.
A café could serve two pralines and a small pastry alongside a cappuccino.
A hotel could use it for a small welcome treat in a guest room.
Catering companies can use several platters on a buffet for finger food, cheese, antipasti and miniature desserts.
The traditional character of Polish Pottery gives each presentation an individual and distinctive appearance.
In fine dining, this small platter is an excellent choice for an amuse bouche.
A small culinary creation can intentionally be presented with generous open space around it.
A spoonful of cream, a small piece of fish, vegetables, a miniature tart or another culinary creation receives an elegant setting on the oval surface.
With small portions, presentation is an important part of the dining experience.
In a hotel room, the platter can be prepared with a few pralines, fresh fruit, biscuits or another small welcome treat.
For weddings, anniversaries or romantic stays, two pralines, strawberries and a small personal message can be arranged on it.
It is equally suitable for holiday apartments, guest houses and bed and breakfast accommodation where a thoughtful welcome can make guests feel special.
After the meal, this platter does not have to disappear into the kitchen cupboard.
In the entrance hall, it can become a stylish tray for keys.
House keys, car keys and other small everyday items can have their own dedicated place.
Placed on a console table, sideboard or chest of drawers, the platter becomes a decorative home accessory at the same time.
Beautifully decorated Polish Pottery can make even ordinary everyday objects such as keys look more attractive and organised.
On a bedside table or dressing table, the platter is ideal for rings, bracelets, watches and other jewellery.
Hair clips and other small personal items can also be kept together on it.
It provides a permanent storage place that looks considerably more attractive than an ordinary plastic container.
The platter can even find a completely different purpose in an office or home office.
Favourite pens, fountain pens, highlighters or a letter opener can be placed on it.
The elongated shape is particularly well suited to writing instruments.
On a modern desk, handcrafted pottery provides a warm and decorative contrast to computers, keyboards and other technical equipment.
In addition to pens, the platter can hold USB drives, paper clips, memory cards and other small office accessories.
This helps keep the desk organised without using an ordinary office organiser.
It combines practical organisation with decorative appeal.
The platter can also remain permanently in the kitchen as a small organiser.
Teaspoons, tea bags, sugar portions and other small items can be kept on it.
Next to the coffee machine, it can hold sugar, sweetener or a few biscuits.
Next to the kettle, it is ideal for tea bags and teaspoons.
As a small decorative platter, it offers many creative possibilities.
Arrange a small candle, dried flowers, pine cones, nuts or seasonal decorations on it.
In spring, flowers and small Easter decorations create a fresh look.
In autumn, chestnuts, nuts and small twigs can be arranged on it.
At Christmas, combine a candle with fir branches and festive decorations.
The same platter can therefore be styled differently throughout the year.
Its uses are not limited to the kitchen and dining room.
In the bathroom, the platter can be used for small soaps, jewellery or cosmetics.
In a guest bathroom, small guest soaps can be presented decoratively.
This allows the characteristic beauty of Polish Pottery to continue into other areas of the home.
The small oval platter also makes a wonderful gift.
It can be given on its own or already filled with something personal.
Pralines for a birthday.
Homemade biscuits for Christmas.
A piece of jewellery for someone special.
Small delicacies for a housewarming.
Or perhaps a quality pen for someone who spends a lot of time at their desk.
Once the original gift has been enjoyed or removed, the ceramic platter remains as a beautiful and useful item that can be used again and again.
One of the special advantages of this platter is that it can be combined with the three larger versions of the same shape.
Smallest size: approx. 21.5 × 12.5 cm
Next size: approx. 23 × 18 cm
Medium size: approx. 31.5 × 21 cm
Largest size: approx. 45.5 × 27 cm
This makes it possible to choose the right size for every dish and occasion.
The smallest platter for pralines and small accompaniments.
The next size for appetizers and snacks.
The medium platter for cheese, cold cuts and larger servings.
The largest platter for family meals, buffets and festive tables.
Together, the four sizes create a harmonious and flexible serving collection for everyday meals and special occasions alike.
