This rare pair of Spode salt and pepper pots features the world-famous "Christmas Tree" pattern. Originally designed in 1938 by Harold Holdway for Spode's American market, this iconic motif has become one of the most celebrated and nostalgic festive tableware designs in history. The timeless pattern showcases a beautifully decorated holiday tree adorned with colorful ornaments, piled high with brightly wrapped gifts at the base, and famously topped with a charming figure of Father Christmas.
This unusually shaped, tall set breaks away from the standard spherical styles, presenting an elegant, elongated baluster form that flares out gracefully at the base and is finished with clean green accent bands around the rims. Standing at an impressive 16.5cm tall, they are sure to make a stately impression on any Christmas table.
These pieces were made in England and are first-quality items. They are in very good condition and they come complete with their original rubber stoppers in the base. It is a fantastic, hard-to-find addition for any dedicated Spode collector looking to elevate their seasonal dining display.
