Temptations Christmas Tree Shaped Baking Dish / Appetizer Platter

This is a ceramic, Christmas-themed baking dish or appetizer platter, shaped distinctly like a Christmas tree. The primary color is off-white or cream, with a festive red trim around its edges. The dish features six individual circular indentations or wells, each adorned with a unique holiday character dressed as a chef or baker: these include a snowman, Santa Claus, a 'gingerbread man' character, a penguin, and two other anthropomorphic animal figures, possibly a cat and a bear or similar creatures. The characters are depicted in a charming, cartoonish style, wearing white chef's hats and aprons, holding various baked goods or kitchen implements. Surrounding each well and scattered across the flat surface of the dish are small red cardinal birds and green leafy sprigs with red berries, adding to the festive motif. The base of the 'tree' shape is decorated with a string of colorful Christmas lights and more red cardinals. The item appears to be made of glazed ceramic or stoneware, indicating suitability for baking or serving. The overall condition looks good, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear, suggesting it has been well-maintained. The style is characteristic of holiday-themed homeware, likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. The brand 'Temptations' suggests it is part of their popular line of decorative and functional ceramics, known for their hand-painted look and seasonal designs. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear detailing in the hand-painted elements.
