Setting the table for Christmas is a wonderful tradition and a chance to use your favourite Christmas dinnerware. It’s also a welcome opportunity to show off your creativity by curating your own festive aesthetic, curating the pieces you feel best reflect your style. Whatever aesthetic you use to celebrate the season, let Wedgwood inspire you with our guide to Christmas table decoration.

Wedgwood has been crafting timeless traditions since 1759, with our traditional blue and white Jasperware inspiring classic Christmas colour schemes for centuries. However, we also lean into bold colour, creativity and eclecticism – after all Josiah Wedgwood was an innovator. He never stood still and allowed his curiosity to lead him, and we follow that vision here.

Embrace customary Christmas colours with our Renaissance Red and Renaissance Gold collections. Featuring a rich palette of classic red, gold and blue, they are a perfect fit for a Christmas that respects tradition whether shown as a complete set or when layered with other, complementary pieces

The other side of the coin is to lean towards a more modern Christmas table style. These contemporary designs share varying levels of DNA with a 'traditional’ setting, with some retaining or updating design cues and others going in another direction entirely

Two new designs for this year meet this description to the letter: Red Splendour and Silver Tonquin. Red Splendour is a vibrant reimagining of the archival Mistletoe design, blending tradition with a contemporary twist, while Silver Tonquin displays an elegant silver and white colourway. Both are strong as a set, but can also be layered with iconic collections, Red Splendour with Renaissance, Silver Splendour with Gio Platinum, for example.
