The Line-up Serving dish ceramic blue / Oval - 37.5 x 18.5 cm

The Line-up Serax Oval Serving Dish: The Design Stretches Out

With this oval serving dish from The Line-up collection, Annebet Philips adds an immediate graphic dimension to the table setting. Crafted from enamelled sandstone, this white piece measuring 37.5 × 18.5 cm is accented with hand-painted blue motifs that are deliberately irregular. Its scalloped edge and two side handles further accentuate its expressive look. Designed to be as practical as it is decorative, this elongated shape naturally anchors the centrepiece.

Annebet Philips: The Freedom of the Line

Based in Amsterdam, Annebet Philips develops a playful, almost cartoon-like visual language based on simple shapes and deliberately imperfect outlines. For The Line-up, she starts with quick, hand-drawn sketches and seeks to preserve all their spontaneity when translating them into Ceramics. The pattern thus remains lively, free, and irregular, far from a perfectly calibrated design.

The blue in the collection evokes Delft blue, but with a contemporary, streamlined interpretation. Annebet Philips retains above all the contrast of blue against white, which she translates into clean, simple, and expressive lines.

What to serve on a 37.5 cm oval dish?

Its elongated shape is particularly well-suited for presenting appetizers, side dishes, vegetables, pastries, or small bites to share. It’s also ideal for arrangements laid out in a line, such as antipasti, petits fours, or a selection of fruits. Its 37.5 cm length gives it a real presence on the table, without taking up as much depth as a large round dish.

What are the two side handles for?

The two integrated handles make it easier to carry the dish and also enhance its visual identity. They extend the wavy outline and give the design an even more expressive look. This detail makes it easier to move the dish between the kitchen and the table, while remaining perfectly integrated into the piece’s design.

How can this dish be paired with The Line-up collection?

The Line-up was designed to be a mix-and-match collection. This oval dish can be paired with other plates and serving dishes from the line to create layered effects and graphic rhythms. It also works very well with white or solid-colored tableware, which lets the blue patterns take center stage.

Is The Line-up dish suitable for everyday use?

Yes. Made of enamelled sandstone, it is dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Its hand-painted decoration, however, retains an artisanal quality, with subtle variations that contribute to the unique character of each piece.

With its elongated shape, handles, and freehand blue motifs, this “The Line-up” serving dish transforms the simple act of serving into a true visual composition.
