Vintage Equestrian Horse & Snaffle-Bit Platter

There was always one dish that meant company was coming, the one that carried the cheese and crackers out to the good room while the ice was still cracking in the glasses.

This one has done that work in a horse house. Maybe on a sideboard under a row of hunt prints. Maybe passed hand to hand at a party that ran later than anyone planned. Maybe in a kitchen where boots stood by the back door and the dog knew every car by the sound of the gravel.

It doesn't just carry the crackers. It tells the room the good afternoon has started.

Vintage Equestrian Platter. Ceramic, hand-glazed, a rearing horse ringed by snaffle bits, horseshoes, and looping rein. 9" x 14".

For the house where the horses came inside too. #followthefeeling @tallmadge_ave_vintage
