Spode Disney Christmas Tree Celebration Round Bowl, Large

This delightful bowl features the vintage Christmas tree that Spode designer Harold Holdway created in 1938 for the company\'s now classic Christmas Tree pattern. Laden with colorful ornaments and topped with a jolly figure of St. Nick, the evergreen image has become an icon of holiday perfection. This merry Disney version of the pattern also includes legendary Disney characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, and Pluto, who are gathered in front of the tree for a rousing round of carols. The characters are reproduced from a rare edition of 1931 Christmas cards created by Walt Disney and elevate the joyful holiday mood This serving bowl measures 9-1/2 inches around and is perfect for bringing a wintery spinach-pear salad or warm green beans in vinaigrette to the holiday dining table. The Disney motif continues around the outside edge of the bowl with images of caroling Mickey, Minnie, and Donald and wrapped gifts interspersed on top of a garland of holiday greens. Sprigs of holly and mistletoe are spaced between the tree images on the outside of the bowl, enhancing the charming theme, and vivid green banding emphasizes the holiday cheer. Made of Imperialware, a durable glazed earthenware produced from Spode\'s proprietary formula, this bowl is microwave- and dishwasher-safe and should endure through generations of Christmas meals. The bowl can be used to accent Spode\'s nostalgic Christmas Tree dinnerware and serving pieces or can be paired with other pieces in the Disney Christmas Tree collection. --Cristina Vaamonde (Amazon)
