There's something refreshingly simple and compelling about the Christmas Tree pattern from German company Waechtersbach. Designed for everyday use during the holiday season, the dinnerware is glazed a glossy bright red all over to showcase a single green tree. On the mugs, white candles stand upright on the tree's boughs and white balls drape the tree in a snowy garland. Producing daily smiles, Christmas Tree lets you save your gold-rimmed china for fancier meals. The four mugs in this set each stand 3-3/4 inches tall and hold 12 ounces of tea, coffee, hot cocoa, cider, and more. Made of durable earthenware, the mugs are dishwasher-safe, a boon during the busy holidays. Other mugs from the collection feature Santa, reindeer, and other seasonal themes, and linens and glassware are also available to accessorize the place settings. --Ann Bieri.../ Waechtersbach Christmas Tree Mug, Set of 4 / Kitchen German
