For Years and Years, I Rebelled Against the iconic Tree.

Spode Christmas Tree?

No. I am Just Not that Matchy, Matchy Kind of Girl.

Too Old School. Too Tired. Everyone Has It.

And Then I Learned the History of the Spode Christmas Tree

In 1938, Harold Holdway, a young designer in Spode’s England office was asked to design 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 the tree. Holdway used another Christmas icon in a most delightful way, adorning the top of the tree with jolly St. Nick. We find his design both unique and charming, as to Spode Christmas Tree lovers the world over. – Spode UK.
