Product Description: Spode, a name traditionally associated with elegant holiday tables, introduces a new line of memorable Christmas ornaments. For the Spode collector, it makes a very special gift.
Amazon.com Review: A holiday favorite since its introduction in 1938, Spode's Christmas Tree pattern is their most well known and widely collected holiday pattern. Evoking the holidays with a traditional evergreen, the pattern creates a warm, folksy Christmas feel that families will look forward to year after year and hold dearly in their memories for generations. The trademark tree, seemingly decorated by young hands and ringed with brightly wrapped presents underneath, stands cheerily in the center of every piece. Charming, crafty decorations encircle the tree and Santa himself--bag slung over his shoulder--stands at the top. For collecting fun, Spode adds new accessories to the pattern every year, allowing a cherished holiday tradition to grow with time. Match any piece to other items in the collection for seasonal dining merriment.
Serve up all the scalloped potatoes, orange sweet salad, or holiday yams you can make in this attractive and functional vegetable serving dish with cover. The dish holds a generous 3-1/2-quarts of your favorite vegetables and the cover keeps them piping hot all through the meal; convenient carry handles on the dish keep the heat from your hands while you carry and serve. Both the dish and cover are white with the pattern's calling-card Christmas tree design at center; each piece also features alternating holly and mistletoe, and the edges of both are circled in a rich green border, creating a simple and vibrant holiday look. Made in England of Imperialware, Spode's high-quality earthenware, the dish and cover are safe for the oven, dishwasher, freezer, and microwave. Place in a cold oven and heat gradually up to 100 degrees C (about 200 degrees F); if using the dishwasher, contact Spode for a list of recommended detergents. --Jeff Dalto
