Scalloped Ceramic Berry Baskets, Set of 2, Cream White

Description

At 6.3 inches square these are serving dishes rather than single portions, which is the whole difference between this pair and our set of four. One of them holds enough strawberries for a table of people, so the basket goes into the middle of the cloth and stays there through the meal instead of being a staging dish back in the kitchen.

Cream white with a scalloped edge and a delicate floral pattern is the quiet version of a decorative dish. It sits with plain ceramics and white linen rather than competing with them, which is why it survives on a counter all week and still looks right on a laid table at the weekend, or wrapped as a gift for somebody whose kitchen you have never seen.

The slots are functional, not styling. Air moves around berries, grapes and cherry tomatoes instead of being trapped against them, and the basket doubles as a colander for rinsing and draining small produce. The stoneware body is sturdy and safe in the oven, the microwave and the dishwasher, so it serves baked goods and snacks as readily as fruit.
