To create its air of gentle merriment, the Spode Christmas Tree tableware collection draws on the warmth of a lovingly decorated evergreen. Repeated throughout the pattern, the brightly colored tree is festooned with ornaments, piled high with presents, and topped with a charming Santa Claus figure. Sprigs of holly and mistletoe add cheerful accents, and each piece features a wide green rim band. Devotees of the tannenbaum may wish to acquire the entire Christmas Tree line, and this 17-piece dinnerware set makes a great starting point. It includes four full place settings, each with a 10-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, a 6-inch cereal bowl, and a mug measuring 2-1/2 inches in diameter. The included 12-inch serving bowl is perfect for tossing cranberries in your favorite winter salad or dishing up a first course of savory pine-nut ravioli. Spode uses durable earthenware to craft the pieces, which are all safe in the microwave and dishwasher. First produced in 1938, the Christmas Tree pattern also comes in a complete line of accessories and oven-to-table serving pieces.
