A Holly and Ivy Christmas
A return to traditional Christmas decorations that embrace a strong red and green theme is predicted for 2022, going hand in hand with a desire to celebrate the festive period with a touch more normality this year and a focus on long-held family traditions.
With ‘red and green’ predicted to be one of the top Christmas looks this year, we’re celebrating Portmeirion’s The Holly and The Ivy collection, named after the traditional British carol. What could be more appropriate for a truly traditional Christmas table setting?
Rich reds and greens
Classically designed The Holly and The Ivy, adorned with botanical illustrations of rich green holly and ruby red berries intertwined with ivy, is a wonderful accompaniment to a festive table. Featuring tableware, cookware, serving pieces, gifts and accessories, Portmeirion’s 1996 collection, designed by Anwyl Cooper-Willis (the eldest daughter of Susan Williams-Ellis, designer and founder of Portmeirion Potteries) is the perfect way to bring out the Christmas theme in style.
And when you realise you need those extra serving bowls or platters as you begin to dish up the Christmas lunch, how wonderful to be able to lay your hands on such elegant and striking festive classics.
A seasonal touch
It’s simple to add a seasonal touch with The Holly and The Ivy, whether you plan to theme your entire Christmas table with festive dinnerware and a table garland bursting with real holly and ivy, or to simply accent your existing tableware with key Christmas pieces. If the latter is your preferred approach then The Holly and The Ivy is a beautiful complement to Portmeirion Botanic Garden, with the botanical illustrative style of the two collections creating a harmonious match.
So, it just leaves us to ask… are you humming the carol yet? We certainly are here at Chinasearch!
