Most people think the heart of Christmas lies in the grand gestures, but really it's all in the small, little details, rituals and iconography that, once reappearing every December, instantly transports us to that same zone of comfort. The films, the scents, the music, the food, and the brands with timeless design we’ve come to associate with the festive season.
The Spode Christmas Tree is one of those designs, and is able to capture the season like few things. First introduced in 1938, Spode’s iconic festive pattern has become as much a part of the season as carols, stockings and the never-quite-fulfilled wish for snow.
Its charm lies in its perfect balance of nostalgia and elegance, with a design that feels steeped in tradition yet somehow fresh every single year. This is tableware that has seen generations gather around it for decades, reinventing rituals with every clink of a champagne glass and cup of tea brewed. Every piece in the collection is a timeless, giftable collection that evokes warmth and the enduring spirit of the holidays.
Spode Christmas collection
Each piece is made with the finest quality clay and finished with a high-fired glaze that delivers that unmistakable glossy sheen, the kind that catches candlelight beautifully and is tough enough for the realities of Christmas - it’s both microwave and dishwasher safe.
This means it works just as well for your own Christmas table for hosting as it does as a gift. Whether it’s a cheese and wine set for the foodie in your family, the dinner set for the big feast, a festive teapot for the infinite cuppas you’ll have and give over the holiday period, or a knockout gravy boat for the best part of the dinner, each set is crafted with care and evokes endless memories.
Whether you’re adding a festive touch to your home for hosting or gifting with meaning, Spode is here to help you go beyond the expected this festive season, from the first bite of a mice pie to the final New Year’s Eve toast.
