Where the rectangular board runs down the length of a table, this one sits at the centre of it — a whole cheese and its accompaniments, a flatbread torn into pieces, tomatoes and olives, a cake still on its base. The subtle dish to the surface keeps oils and juices from finding the tablecloth, and the handle gives you somewhere to hold it that isn't the food. Propped on a shelf or against a splashback between meals, it reads as a piece of pottery rather than kitchen equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section-label\"\u003eWhat sets it apart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"section-heading\"\u003eThe detail that makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"section-body\"\u003eA round platter usually gives you scale or character, rarely both. \u003cstrong\u003eThe Amberley is stoneware finished in a reactive glaze, so the chalk tone moves and pools in the kiln rather than sitting flat, deepening along the wavering rim and around the handle — no two boards come out the same\u003c\/strong\u003e. At 45cm it holds a serious spread without needing a second dish, yet it's only 1.2cm deep, so it stacks and stores like a platter rather than a slab. Ceramic also stays cool, which keeps soft cheese, butter and cured meats in good condition far longer on the table than wood does. It shares its glaze and handle with the rectangular Amberley, so the two look intentional together without matching exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collection-callout\"\u003e\n\u003csvg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#8b6f4e\" stroke-width=\"1.2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" style=\"flex-shrink: 0; margin-top: 2px;\"\u003e\u003crect rx=\"1\" height=\"11\" width=\"16\" y=\"5\" x=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M5 5V4a3 3 0 0 1 6 0v1\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bowls-and-dishes\" title=\"Shop ceramic bowls and dishes at CharlesTed Home\"\u003ebowls and dishes\u003c\/a\u003e range — pair with the rectangular Amberley and pieces from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/crockery\" title=\"Shop ceramic crockery and tableware at CharlesTed Home\"\u003ecrockery\u003c\/a\u003e collection for a table that looks gathered over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"suits-row\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eModern Rustic\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eFarmhouse\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eWabi-Sabi\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eScandinavian\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eCoastal\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"suits-tag\"\u003eContemporary\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"divider\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-label\"\u003eGood to know\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWhat size is it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eThe board measures 45.2cm by 44.8cm overall, including the handle, with a slim 1.2cm profile. It's a generous centre-of-the-table size — enough for a full cheese board or a sharing spread for six to eight — while staying shallow enough to stack in a cupboard or lean on a worktop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan I cut on it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eIt's designed for serving rather than chopping. A knife blade will mark the glaze over time and blunt itself against the ceramic, so we'd suggest slicing on a wooden or plastic board and transferring across to the Amberley to present. Cheese knives and spreaders used lightly on the surface are fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan it go in the oven?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo — this is a serving piece, not an ovenware or pizza stone. Sudden heat can crack glazed stoneware, so bake or cook elsewhere and transfer across once the food has come off the heat. It handles warm food on the table perfectly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eWill each board look the same?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eNo, and that's the point. The reactive glaze responds to the heat of the kiln, so tone, depth of colour and the way it pools around the rim and handle vary from board to board. Slight irregularity in the outline and surface is part of the handmade character rather than a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eIs it dishwasher safe?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eHand washing is best. Warm water, a little washing-up liquid and a soft cloth is all it needs, and it keeps the glaze looking its best for far longer. Avoid abrasive scourers, and dry it before storing or hanging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eCan I hang it up?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eYes — the cut-out handle sits over a hook, peg rail or butcher's rail easily. As a wide, solid ceramic piece it has real weight to it, so use a fixing rated for the load rather than a light adhesive hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dims\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dims-label\"\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dims-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eType\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eRound serving board\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eGlazed stoneware\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eChalk reactive glaze\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eCut-out carrying handle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eOverall length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003e45.2 cm (incl. handle)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eOverall width\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003e44.8 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eThickness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003e1.2 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dim-cell\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-key\"\u003eCare\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"dim-val\"\u003eHand wash, serving use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CharlesTed Home","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58685354803525,"sku":"KIT-GT- ACCH02-SS26","price":59.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/9782\/7397\/files\/Amberley_Ceramic_Serving_Board_Round.png?v=1785090471","url":"https:\/\/www.charlestedhome.co.uk\/products\/amberley-ceramic-serving-board-round","provider":"CharlesTed Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
