Each plate carries Nikko's striking octagonal silhouette rather than a standard round shape, framed by a festive green trim and an embossed, ridged inner band. At the center is a detailed Victorian-era Christmas tree hung with candles and toys, a teddy bear at the base, and the traditional star crowning the top — a design detail highly sought after by holiday collectors. Crafted from premium ironstone, these plates are fully dishwasher and microwave safe.

Perfect for serving starters, salads, or holiday desserts with easy cleanup, or set out as part of a curated Christmas tablescape.

NIKKO is a Japanese manufacturer of fine ceramics, known for its tableware products. It was founded in 1908 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa by Lord Maeda and other local nobles. The Maeda lords especially fostered arts and crafts, and made Kanazawa a cultural center like Tokyo and Kyoto. The company originally gained fame for its ironstone ceramics. Following WWII, NIKKO expanded into Japanese households, and by the 1970s, they introduced advanced fine bone china to their lineup. Today, they handle all production in-house, are global leaders in bone china, and remain the only manufacturer in Japan. Nikko's "Christmastime" and "Happy Holidays" are two of the most beloved and collected holiday dinnerware lines in the world.

Pairs beautifully with our Nikko Happy Holidays pieces — the same design, in different shapes and pieces. Browse our shop to build a matching set.
