Anwyl Cooper-Willis, second generation Portmeirion artist, brings us Holly and Ivy. Created in 1995, it is now a holiday classic. The Holly and Ivy is the contemporary arrangement of an antique illustration of rich green foliage and lush red berries. Evocative of the traditional English Christmas, the collection includes dinnerware, giftware and cookware in Portmeirion's romantic dinnerware shape. This is the perfect pattern to start your own holiday entertaining tradition for generations to come. Set of 6 teacups and saucers. Sit back and relax on a crisp winter's evening while enjoying a flavorful tea out of this set of 6 teacups and matching saucers. White with rich red and green holly and ivy, the platter's center is ringed with the lyrics to an ancient English carol: The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown, of all the trees that are in the woods the holly bears the crown. Each teacup holds 7-ounces of tea or coffee and features a sweetly scooped handle to comfortably cradle your finger around while sipping. Portmeirion's Holly and Ivy pattern was designed by second-generation Portmeirion designer Anwyl Cooper-Willis in 1996 as a contemporary arrangement of antique illustrations with a flowing script of a lyric from the 17th Century English carol it's named after. The design and script are hand-painted on high-quality earthenware, and both pieces are safe in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher--making clean-up a breeze. They can also be placed in the oven and heated gradually up to 340 degrees F. Match with any Holly and Ivy piece, or coordinate with the Botanic Garden collection. --Jeff Dalto
