Spode Christmas Tree 10-12-Inch Dinner Plates Set of 4

Product Description Bring a sense of elegance and nostalgia to the winter holidays with this set of four dinner plates, which measures 10-1/2 inches in diameter. The plates recess slightly at the center to prevent spills, while offering an ideal size for loading up at a Christmas feast or for simply enjoying an everyday breakfast or lunch throughout the festive season. Furthermore, the collector-worthy set looks as beautiful displayed in an open cabinet or glass-front hutch as it does spread across the table for a holiday dinner. Crafted of exceptionally durable earthenware, the plates bring the appearance of fine china with the resilience of more practical tableware to family meals and other social events. Their milk-white backdrops set a luscious holiday scene--complete with ornament-festooned Christmas trees and piles of wrapped gifts, all framed by thick green banding. In addition, a subtle scattering of holly leaves and mistletoe sprigs tastefully accents each plate and ties it in perfectly with coordinating pieces from Spode's beloved Christmas Tree collection (sold separately). Microwave- and dishwasher-safe, the set comes attractively boxed and makes an enchanting wedding, hostess, or housewarming gift. Amazon.com Spode is a trusted and coveted name in ceramics, and rightly so; they've been producing lovely tableware since the late 1700s. This set of four dinner plates belongs to one of their best-loved patterns, which they've been making since 1938. A pale, creamy green with a dark-green border, each plate features a beautifully detailed painting of a trimmed Christmas tree topped with a Father Christmas figurine. They would make for a lovely holiday table, at breakfast, dinner, or a festive buffet. The set comes gift-boxed for a pretty presentation; not only would a collector of the Spode Christmas Tree pattern be thrilled to receive these plates, but so would anyone who still thrills to the festive trappings of Christmas. Made of high-quality earthenware, these plates are dishwasher- and microwave-safe. To extend the life of the plates, however, it is best to avoid rapid temperature changes, such as reheating a plate in the microwave that's been moved directly from the refrigerator. Also, a low-temperature cycle and liquid dishwasher detergent will help avoid abrasion and temperature stress. Each plate measure 10 inches in diameter. --Garland Withers
