The Line-up Serving dish ceramic blue / Oval - 53 x 24.5 cm

The Line-up Serax Serving Dish: A Bold, Graphic Statement

With this large “The Line-up” serving dish, Annebet Philips gives the centrepiece an instantly striking visual presence. Crafted from enamelled sandstone, this white piece measuring 53 × 24.5 cm is brought to life by hand-painted blue motifs with a deliberately irregular pattern. Its elongated shape, scalloped edge, and two side handles make it as practical as it is decorative. Designed for large gatherings and dishes meant to be shared, this generous size naturally becomes one of the highlights of the collection.

Annebet Philips: The Freedom of the Line

Based in Amsterdam, Annebet Philips has developed 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 strives to preserve all their spontaneity when translating them to Ceramic. The lines thus remain free, lively, and slightly irregular, as if the drawing had just been applied directly to the piece.

The blue in the collection evokes the famous Delft blue, but with a decidedly contemporary interpretation. Annebet Philips retains above all the contrast of blue against a white background, stripping away traditional ornamentation in favor of simpler, more expressive motifs.

What to serve on a 53-cm dish?

At 53 cm long, this large serving dish is particularly well-suited for dishes meant to be shared and presentations that require space. It can hold a whole fish, roasted vegetables, an assortment of antipasti, fruit, pastries, or a variety of appetizers. Its elongated shape allows you to arrange the food along its entire length and create a generous presentation as a centrepiece at the table.

What are the two side handles for?

The two built-in handles make it easier to carry this large dish, especially when bringing it from the kitchen to the table. They also contribute to the piece’s design by extending its scalloped edge. On a 53-cm dish, this detail truly shines by combining functionality with decorative flair.

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

The Line-up was designed as a collection meant to be mixed and matched. This dish can be paired with plates and other serving dishes from the line to create layered arrangements and bring out the interplay between the various blue patterns. Its very elongated shape also allows it to serve as the centerpiece of a more understated table, surrounded by white or solid-colored tableware.

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 slight variations that contribute to the unique character of each piece.

With its dramatic proportions, generous handles, and free-flowing blue line, this large “The Line-up” serving dish transforms the presentation of dishes into a true visual spectacle. A piece designed for large gatherings as much as for the pleasure of creating an expressive table setting.
