Clean slate: Curvy cake stand

226b_0514

If slate were a song, it would be one of those angsty teen anthems.

Whether shearing off roofs or screeching through school days, it doesn’t conjure up many happy memories.
There’s hope, though, with Premier Housewares’ Sumptuous Slate tableware collection, which includes this strikingly cool cake stand. Tea-time is twee no longer. From £3.50.
