Objects Of Design #301: Vintage Platters

vintage serving platters

Ah Boxing Day. That really is the morning after the night before. If you have planned it right you will be heading off to someone else’s house where a drink will be handed to you on arrival, and a succession of delightful dishes will parade past without you having to lift a finger. Or not. If, on the other hand, you have planned it wrong, you will be handing out said dishes and refilling said glasses. Next year, make sure you have a collection of lovely platters like these to arrange everything on. Nigella is very good at this. And, just as a boring present is so much more exciting when it’s beautifully wrapped, so a humble dish of cold ham or a bowl of olives looks so much more appetising when presented well. It’s all smoke and mirrors really.
