The cheery red and white check pattern on Emma Bridgewater’s Gingham Prize Winning Small Side Plate, 6.5 Inch, is so redolent of picnic cloths, afternoon tea with scones and village fairs. This accolade-declaring small plate is far more useful than any trophy or rosette won at the local horticultural show. If the baker in the family is runner-up in the ‘Best Exhibit Of Jams, Chutneys & Pickles’ category, they deserve this small tea plate as a reward for effort alone. And if the keen allotment owner in your life gets first prize for their 'Beetroots x 3, One Variety, 8cm of Tops', treat them to this gingham-patterned side plate for winning fair and square.
