A white country church with a wreath on its door sits in a field of pressed lace, and the whole scene rises in relief from the platter. Bring it to the table on a December evening with warm bread under a cloth, and the little church seems to watch over the supper.

This Mud Pie platter has a reactive glaze surface with green trees standing on either side of the church. The round shape, 12" across, fits a loaf, a ring of rolls or a pile of sliced pound cake. The white-on-white relief shifts with the light through the day, and the green trees add a touch of color at the edges.
