Barbotine footed cake platter

The apple slices on this cake stand are arranged around an apple placed in the center. Combined with the scalloped edge and raised base, this gives the stand a playful character—perfect for a homemade apple pie or a tarte tatin.

The fruit motif follows the *barbotine* tradition, a style of ceramics decorated with relief elements such as fruit, flowers, or leaves. 

Even without a cake, it makes for a charming display piece—whether on a kitchen shelf or as part of a ceramics collection.
