There is something unmistakably magical about holiday décor from a gentler era — when Christmas wasn’t rushed, when families gathered close, and when the season was stitched together with love, laughter, and tradition. These two vintage Fitz & Floyd porcelain salad plates capture that very spirit with warmth and charm.
Produced in 1983, the celebrated “Deck the Halls” pattern brings Victorian-era holiday storytelling to life. Each plate features a beautifully illustrated family bundled in winter clothing, trimming a stone lamp post with evergreen garlands and bright red bows, while a child reaches up to help. The scene is framed by an elegant holly-wrapped ribbon border and finished with brilliant gold trim around the rim — a hallmark of Fitz & Floyd’s fine Japanese porcelain production.
These plates stand as both functional tableware and collectible Christmas art. Display them in a china cabinet, use them to elevate a holiday table setting, or give them as a heartfelt gift to someone who treasures old-fashioned Christmas charm. Whether they become serving pieces for cookies and desserts or decorative accents for a dining room shelf, they are guaranteed to spark nostalgia and conversation.
Crafted with care over 40 years ago, this pair has been gently loved and preserved. Colors remain vibrant, gold edging remains bright, and their timeless winter vignette adds a touch of festive elegance to any home.
A delightful reminder that the holidays were once slower, sweeter, and filled with the joy of doing things together.
