Mon Amie Amy Gift Shop, Ashburn VA 20147, Gifts for all occasions
A single hand-painted sun — rising or setting, depending on the moment — sits at the center of this Nora Fleming Here Comes the Sun Mini, and it does exactly what the best tableware detail should: it makes the whole table feel considered. This is one of the Nora Fleming Minis, the small interchangeable accents that plug into any Nora Fleming platter or base and change the entire register of the piece. The sun design reads warm and graphic in equal measure — the kind of thing that works at a late-summer dinner on the back patio and still makes sense at the table in February when you want something with a little brightness.
The appeal here is structural. Instead of owning a different platter for every occasion, you own one quality base and a collection of hand-painted minis that drop in and out depending on what's on the calendar. The Nora Fleming hand-painted platter mini is the interchangeable piece that makes that system worth having.
To care for your Nora Fleming Mini, hand wash with warm soapy water after each use and dry thoroughly before storing. The hand-painted surface on this Nora Fleming decorative mini holds up well with gentle handling — skip the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, and the detail will stay sharp through years of use. Store it with the rest of your Nora Fleming Minis somewhere they won't knock against each other; a small divided dish or the original packaging both work. Treated well, a hand-painted piece like this one becomes part of the permanent rotation rather than a seasonal pull-out.
