Holiday porcelain that tells a story. This charming pair of Fitz & Floyd “Deck the Halls” mugs arrives from the earliest years of the line (1982/83), crafted in Japan and finished with a fine gold rim. The artwork is quintessential Fitz & Floyd: a Victorian couple bundled against the winter chill, reaching to crown a stone lamppost with evergreen wreaths and bright red bows while snow softens the scene. A twig-and-holly garland traces the inner lip, and a sweet vignette on the reverse adds that playful storybook wink collectors adore.
Unlike loud novelty ware, these mugs feel gentle and nostalgic—porcelain bright and smooth, colors tender and winter-warm. They pour beautifully into any Christmas ritual: morning coffee while the tree lights glow, cocoa after an evening walk, spiced tea waiting by the window as carols drift through the room. Because the “Deck the Halls” line is long discontinued, surviving examples—especially matched pairs in this condition—carry both decorative charm and collectible weight. Display them on a kitchen shelf, hang them from cup hooks, or bring them out for your cozy December mugs-only rotation; they bring a graceful, old-world elegance to every sip.
Stamped on the base with the original Fitz & Floyd mark and pattern name, these mugs are part of a beloved narrative series depicting festive Victorian preparations—ribbons, garland, laughter, and the quiet joy of doing Christmas together. It’s décor you can use, memory you can hold, and a story that returns every winter.
