Christmas Tableware

A year-end table holds together through unity first: one line carried from the small bowl to the tray, and the rest follows. This collection brings together Christmas tableware in ceramic, red and white porcelain and gold or silver metal, around the Holly line.

Build around the Holly line

The Holly line runs from the small bowl to the jar, by way of the bowls with handles, the mug and the candle holder. Choosing pieces from a single line avoids a patchwork look: the reds echo one another, and so do the whites. Then add a decorative tray or a carafe to break the regularity.

Ceramic, porcelain and metal

Ceramic and porcelain go on the table, in contact with the food. Gold and silver finishes work better for display: a tray under the candle holders, a jar at the end of the table, a round tray for nuts and dried fruit. The metal then brings the reflection that porcelain lacks.

Small sizes do the serving

The 6 cm bowl holds a condiment, a sauce or a few nuts. The bowls with handles, on the other hand, are held in the hand and suit a hot drink. Count your guests before multiplying shapes, because a table reads better when it repeats the same pieces.

Frequently asked questions

What is the bowl with handles for?

Larger than the 6 cm bowl, it is held in the hand: a hot chocolate, a soup or an individual dessert. It also belongs to the Holly line.

Does this tableware go with an everyday service?

Yes, if your usual service is plain and light. The Holly pattern then becomes the accent of the table, carried by the small pieces.

How do I care for gold and silver finishes?

By hand, in lukewarm water, with a soft cloth, drying them straight away. Avoid abrasive sponges and acidic products.
