The Line-up Serax Serving Dish: The Design Stretches Across the Table

With The Line-up serving dish, Annebet Philips transforms a utilitarian form into a true graphic composition. Crafted from enamelled sandstone, this white dish—measuring 34 × 21 cm—features an elongated silhouette accentuated by broad, hand-painted blue lines. Their deliberately irregular lines preserve all the spontaneity of the initial brushstroke and give each piece a unique personality. Its generous size makes it ideal for presenting both dishes meant to be shared and more decorative arrangements.

Annebet Philips: The Gesture Before Perfection

Based in Amsterdam, Annebet Philips creates a playful, almost cartoon-like world based on simple shapes and bold contours. For The Line-up, she starts with quick, hand-drawn sketches and strives to preserve that freshness when translating them into Ceramic. The lines are therefore never perfectly even. On the contrary, they retain the freedom and energy of the original drawing.

The blue in the collection evokes Delft blue, but in a contemporary, minimalist interpretation. Annebet Philips focuses particularly on the contrast between the deep blue and the white background, which she transforms into simple, expressive lines.

What to serve in a 34 × 21 cm dish?

This size is particularly well-suited for dishes meant to be shared. It can hold roasted vegetables, side dishes, mixed salads, cheeses, pastries, or desserts to be cut into portions. Its elongated shape also lends itself very well to a linear presentation, such as for appetizers, antipasti, or a selection of small dishes.

How can you incorporate The Line-up dish into your table setting?

The Line-up was designed as a collection meant to be mixed and matched. This dish can be paired with other plates and serving dishes from the collection to create layered effects and visual rhythms. It also works very well with white or solid-colored tableware, which lets the blue pattern take center stage, or in a more eclectic arrangement that mixes shapes and designs.

Is the “The Line-up” dish suitable for everyday use?

Yes. Made of enamelled sandstone, it’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Its hand-painted decoration, however, retains a handcrafted quality, with subtle variations that contribute to each piece’s unique character.

With its elongated silhouette and broad blue lines, The Line-up serving dish brings movement to the table. A piece designed for serving, arranging, and adding an immediate graphic element to the meal.
