The classic ivory hue, golden edges, and harvested produce bedecked on Spode Chatham make this vintage beauty a stunning teapot to showcase on your tea tables during the holiday season.
When it comes to hosting afternoon tea for various gatherings, it’s imperative to find a versatile china pattern that effortlessly fits into a myriad of settings and themes. A multipurpose vessel, such as Spode Chatham, can be a lovely piece to display for Thanksgiving and Christmas and on to New Year’s Eve. The black-and-white adornment of an assemblage of fruit serves as the focal point of the mid-century treasure as the gilded accents add a touch of glamour. Its subtle glitz and endless charm are apropos to ring in the New Year when accompanied by Spode’s Mandarin Gold sugar bowl and dazzling crystal champagne coupes befitting a grand affair.
