With the introduction of Christmas Tree in 1938, Spode pioneered an unprecedented popularity in holiday dinnerware. The Christmas Tree pattern has expanded over the years to include oven-to-tableware, giftware and ornaments.

Gadroon shape was first introduced at Spode in about 1824. The shape copied the elegant shapes in Georgian silver wares and very many patterns are recorded on the shape at Spode. Spode had introduced a few Christmas Tree pieces using the Gadroon shape. In addition, they have enhanced the pattern with a chocolate brown floral and rich colored flowers. The Gadroon Bowl is a decadent piece rich in color and elegance. The large piece would be lovely as a centerpiece or for seasonal fruit and nuts.
