While these were made for the holidays, I will use them year round. The green ivy pattern goes great with the yellow bistro bowls. I have poppy coffee cups in yellow and green that compliment the plates. The salad plate is my favorite as the design is over the entire surface of the plate.

The Yuletide pattern is elegant. The finish looks like fine china. Beautiful dinnerware I don’t have to hand wash!!!!! Thank you!

I bought two of the holly dinner plates to use in my two-person household during the winter months, and I could not be more pleased with my purchase. The product photos really do not do these charming, elegant plates justice. The holly design is graceful and gorgeous, in shades of soft bluish green, with a white center. I don't think it's stated in the product description, but these plates are scalloped, which makes them that much more special. They're also substantial in weight, with a high gloss; if I didn't know that they're melamine, I'd have thought that they're china.
I can hardly believe how little these exquisite pieces cost, and they were shipped and delivered very quickly, too..

These plates, though they're evocative of the Christmas seas season, are not colorful in a showy way; if you want dancing reindeer or Santas with glowing noses, this pattern is likely not for you.
