Portmeirion Holly and Ivy Salad/Mixing Bowl
Serve plenty of salad for the whole table or mix up a batch of warm, yummy holiday cookies in this deep-walled bowl with a 9-inch diameter. White with rich red and green holly and ivy, the bowl's center is ringed with the lyrics to an ancient English carol:The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown, of all the trees that are in the woods the holly bears the crown.Portmeirion's Holly and Ivy pattern was designed by second-generation Portmeirion designer Anwyl Cooper-Willis in 1996 as a contemporary arrangement of antique illustrations with a flowing script of a lyric from the 17th Century English carol it's named after. The design and script are hand-painted on high-quality earthenware, and the bowl is safe in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher--making clean-up a breeze. It can also be placed in the oven and heated gradually up to 340 degrees F. Match with any Holly and Ivy piece, or coordinate with the Botanic Garden collection.--Jeff Dalto
