Spode Christmas Tree Revere Bowl

Spode Christmas Tree Revere Bowl with Legend "Wishing you Christmas cheer throughout the year" The Story of Spode Christmas Tree In 1938, Harold Holdway, a young designer in Spode's England office, was asked to desing a Christmas pattern for the American market. He was faced with a dilemma he had never seen a decorated Christmas tree! In his first sketch the presents were suspended from the branches. "Wouldn't that cause them to droop?" he wondered. He amended his sketches when told the American tradition was to place gifts under three tree. Holdway used another Christmas icon in a most delightful way, adorning the top of the tree with jolly St. Nick. We find his designed both unique and charming, as do Spode Christmas Tree lovers the world over. This Spode Christmas Tree Revere Bowl with Legend measures 6 1/2" in diameter.
