Introduced in 1979, “Christmastime” holiday pattern from Nikko has become a seasonal classic. Made of high-quality Japanese ironstone, the pattern has the classic Christmas Tree decoration on each piece, and offers a full range of place setting and serving pieces, as well as collectible giftware. The entire range is completely dishwasher and microwave safe. The rectangle covered butter dish holds a standard cube of butter, and has a matching lid.
