Our award-winning
Christmas Plates
Feel the excitement of the
Festive Period
Thirteen years ago when we first set up Polly Put The Kettle On, as well as hand-painting mugs, we started experimenting with creating personalised plates.
The first product to enter our collection, by popular demand, was Santa or Father Christmas plates for children. We can personalise with up to 5 children’s names.
Our plates start at £18 each including delivery.
We often get asked why our Santa plates are a little bit more expensive than others you may see on the market. The simple answer is QUALITY. Unfortunately in recent years many people think that they can paint a plate and yes there are some very good replicas. However, many also paint using sharpies, they don’t fire them and the decoration will simply wipe off when you wash it.
Ours won’t.
The paint is dishwasher proof but to last year after year we recommend that you hand-wash our ceramics which just preserves them a little bit longer.
Christmas Eve
The house is quiet, lit only by the soft glow of the tree lights. A plate sits on the kitchen counter or near the fireplace, lovingly arranged with homemade cookies - some a little misshapen from tiny hands helping. A glass of milk or a favourite tipple sits upon it, maybe a few carrots for the reindeer. It's not just a snack - it's a message of belief, wonder, and warmth.
On Christmas Eve, that Santa plate becomes a symbol of childhood wonder - the bridge between dreams and reality.
Hand-painted with love and personalised, this ceramic plate can be used year after year.
Christmas Plate FAQs
1. What is the price of your Christmas plates? They are £20 each including postage and packaging.
2. How many names can I have on one plate? You can have up to five children’s names but please be aware, the more names, the smaller the text!
3. Can I have Father Christmas instead of Santa painted on my plate? Yes! Each plate is made-to-order and you can have whatever you like. Just fill in all the details when ordering.
4. Why are your plates more expensive than many on the market? The simple question is QUALITY. These are not 75p Wilko plates, drawn with Sharpies. They are high quality 26cm porcelain plates decorated with the BEST ceramic paints on the market. I’m not saying all of the cheaper versions are a waste of money but please remember cheaper is not always better.
Unfortunately in recent years many people think that they can paint a plate and yes there are some talented artists and some very good replicas, however when using cheap products and by not firing your work, the decoration will sadly just wash off. Every year we have at least a dozen customers who come to us and say they wish they’d just spent a bit more upfront because last year’s literally wiped off. Ours won’t.
5. Can I pop the plates in the dishwasher? Yes you can but to last year-after-year-after-year I recommend that you hand-wash which preserves them for even longer.
6. Can I eat my dinner off one? By all means, pop your treats on for Father Christmas but please note that these plates are not designed for eating from with cutlery. The paint will scratch if used against metal.
7. How long does it take from order to delivery? We will dispatch your order 1-2 weeks after payment is received. If you need it by a certain date, please let us know, my painting is meticulously scheduled and I’ll try to find a 3am window for you.
8. Why order from Polly Put The Kettle On? We pride ourselves on personal, friendly, customer-service and high quality products. Read our reviews and know that if you order from us you are guaranteed both. We choose your satisfaction with my work over sales, every time.
