 24 carat gold platter This lovely peacock feather design platter would be perfect for serving up some delicious Christmas party canapes on.
The white china porcelain platter features a reproduction of an original peacock feather embroidery design by Keith Murray, a Watts designer. The design is finished off with touches of 24 carat gold.
The Crown Hill Platter is currently reduced – it was £35.95 but is now only £19.18, from the Watts London store on Bouf.
If you like the design, snap it up now, as we understand this particular design may be being discontinued.

We’re loving the deer trend in home accessories, so here’s our pick of 5 of the best deer themed buys for your home!
1. Deer Decorations
 Deer family This contemporary style set of three deer are the perfect addition to your Christmas decorations.
They’re made of sustainably sourced, laser-cut birch plywood and they arrive in 11 pieces, which are simply slotted together.
The rather quirky deer family cost £24 from Shell Thomas.
2. Deer Mugs
 Deer mugs We really like the Yes Deer mug, but there’s also a Daddy Deer and Mummy Deer option available too.
The mugs are handmade from bone china, are microwave and dishwasher proof and are only £9 each from RawXclusive.
3. Deer Wall Stickers
 
Watch out, there’s a deer about!
The huge British deer wall sticker is so lifelike – it could cause momentary shock if you came across it unexpectedly in someone’s home! To add a taste to the wild to your home, it will set you back £39.99 from The Binary Box.
Alternatively, a smaller black silhouette deer wall sticker is available for £16.50 from Bombdesign.
4. Funky Deer Head
 Dimensional deer wall decoration This super funky contemporary deer head decoration is made from graphically decorated laminated fibreboard.
It comes flat packed, but is easy to assemble – no glue required – and adds dimension and interest to a wall.
The gorgeous deer head is available for £35 from Cox and Cox.
5. Deer Paperweight
 Handmade paperweight This handmade paperweight features a funky geometric background (which reminds us of wallpaper) and a black silhouette of a deer, with a bird perched on its back.
The round paperweight comes boxed and costs £12 from Lollipop Designs.
And finally…

 Stylish Ciro bowl design These Ciro bowls by LSA International are handmade in Poland and each feature two oval holes as part of the design, making them distinctive and stylish.
The Ciro serving or salad bowl, which is a really useful size to have, is currently reduced in the sale at DotMaison, and is now priced at £20.
The rest of the sale section is well worth a look too, especially if you’re after designer bedding, such as products by Orla Kiely, Conran or KAS.

 Serve tapas in style What would you expect to pay for a set of four small serving plates?
We think this set of white china rectangular plates, which are the perfect size for serving tapas or canapes, are a bit of a bargain, as they cost only £12.90.
The plates are elegant in design and the white colour will mix and match easily with other tableware and crockery.
The four piece tapas serving set can be purchased from Bon Prix.

 Novel measuring cup set If you’re ever looking for some unusual measuring cups, then it’s well worth having a look to see if Anthropologie have any. They’ve previously sold some novel and fun measuring cups, and they’ve done it again with this milk bottle design.
At first glance, the bone china milk bottle looks like it’s one single piece, but when you look closer you realise it’s actually made up of several smaller measuring cups, which can each be used to measure out different quantities of ingredients.
When they’re not in use, they stack together to form this single milk bottle (there’s even some silver on the top like a milk bottle lid!) which can be used for decorative purposes in your kitchen.
The milk bottle measuring cups set costs £22 from Anthropologie.

These unusual illustrated bowls are part of the tableware collection by designer Martha Mitchell, a graduate from Nottingham Trent University.
Her unique ceramic collection features black and white illustrations from popular everyday food products on china bowls and other products. On the crisp bowl, for example, you’ll find tiny images of well known crisp packets, such as Wotsits, French Fries and Monster Munch.
On the sweet bowl, there are cute little images of sweet packets, such as Cadbury Eclairs, Pick ‘n’ Mix, Haribo Strawbs, Werthers Originals and Maoam Stripes.
All of the illustrations are applied by hand, so each piece is unique. The illustrated crisp bowl and illustrated sweet bowl are £12 each and would be perfect to use for Christmas entertaining or party nibbles.
There are lots more products in the range too that are worth a look, including a nice egg cup, mug and cake stand. All the illustrated products are available from Martha Mitchell Design’s online store.

Emma Bridgewater has some special Christmas china designs available, including these two mugs that we rather like.
There’s the blue and white running deer mug, which features a continuation of the design inside the mug too, and a green and red reindeer mug.
Both mugs are available in half pint size (£15.95 for the reindeer and £16.95 for the running deer) and also in a smaller baby mug size (£11.95 for the reindeer and £12.95 for the running deer), and can be purchased from Emma Bridgewater.
My favourite is definitely the blue and white running deer mug; which would you have?

 Jan Constantine design candle
One of the popular ranges by British designer, Jan Constantine, is her Union Jack inspired homeware pieces (we’ve featured some of her cushions before, for example).
Now that same iconic design has been transformed into a china votive candle holder, by leading ceramicist, William Edwards. The essence of Jan’s original stitched designs shines through in the china version, especially with the visible inclusion of her blanket stitch trim around the edge of the design.
If you love Jan Constantine’s designs, then this would be a lovely addition to add to your home.
The Jan Constantine Union Jack candle is £12 from We Love British (and postage is only £1.75).
