Christmas at "Your House": Bespoke Hand-Painted Platter (Two Sizes)

A hand-painted oval platter featuring your own home at Christmas, lit up beneath a starry sky and ringed with holly and berries. Named in your own banner and made to be passed down.

Full description

Some houses just look like Christmas. The warm glow in the windows, the lights strung through the great tree beside it, a wreath on every door. This platter captures yours.

Each piece is hand-painted and kiln-fired in my studio. At its heart is a softly watercolour-washed illustration of your house, with its tiled roof, glowing windows and a tree wound with lights, set beneath a golden star and scatter of smaller stars. A ribbon banner carries the name of your home, in this case “Christmas at Rooks”, and the scene is framed by a ring of red berry dots, a sweep of olive-green laurel leaves, little Christmas trees and sprigs of holly. A fine red hand-drawn scroll runs around the rim to finish it. Any type of home works for this!

Because every piece is painted by hand, no two are identical, and slight variations in line and colour are part of its charm.

Make it yours:

Send me a photograph of your house, farmhouse, flat, cottage or even your favourite holiday rental, and I’ll paint it in. The banner can carry any wording you like: the house name, a family name, a year, or a short message. Add your own details too, such as a dog at the door, a favourite tree or a particular door colour. Just get in touch.
