Spode Christmas Tree Kitten in a Stocking Ornament
Item Number:  4030140
Dimensions:  2.25"
Description:  This charming ornament is part of Spode's legendary Christmas Tree line which has been in production for over 65 years. It is collected and cherished in households throughout the world. Beautifully detailed, this ornament will be a delightful addition to any collection! In 1938, Harold Holdaway, a young designer in Spode's England office, was asked to design a Christmas pattern for the American market. He was faced with a dilemma...he had never seen a decorated Christmas tree! In his first sketch the presents were suspended from the branches. "Wouldn't that cause them to droop?" he wondered. He amended his sketches when told the American tradition was to place gifts under the tree. Holdaway used another Christmas icon in a most delightful way, adorning the top of the tree with jolly St. Nick.

   About the Spode Company  
In 1770, Joseph Spode established a small pottery in the village of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. Over the next 30 years, Spode perfected the process of blue underglaze printing from hand-engraved copper plates, which resulted in exquisitely detailed blue-and-white earthenware that is highly collectible today. Spode is also credited with inventing the formula for translucent fine bone china, soon to become an enduring industry standard. Archival engravings and molds allow the Spode company to continue producing favorite historic lines, while also adding new dinnerware and ovenware collections in vibrant contemporary patterns.
