Every host knows the quiet panic of last-minute gatherings – when supermarket platters betray you with their plastic sheen, and your grandmother’s china feels too fragile for casual cocktails. For years, we’ve settled for either disposable convenience or museum-piece formality, leaving our dining experiences feeling emotionally disjointed. The Alex Liddy Jade Round Platter 32cm Teal emerges as the solution we didn’t know we needed, blending contemporary design with everyday resilience to bridge this gap in modern entertaining.
The Entertainer’s Dilemma Solved
Modern hosts face a triple threat in tableware: pieces too delicate for weekly use, designs that lack personality, and serving solutions that fail to transition from casual brunches to dinner parties. The Jade collection addresses these pain points through:
Three-Layer Excellence
- Physical Structure: 32cm round silhouette with 2.5cm raised edge prevents spills while maintaining elegant proportions
- Material Innovation: Premium New Bone China formulation achieves 30% greater chip resistance than standard porcelain
- Functional Design: Microwave-safe core with thermal-stable glaze prevents those dreaded “hot spot” accidents
