My "Collage Christmas Hutch" features an eclectic arrangement of some of my favorite Christmas china. Collecting china at estate sales and resale venues, and displaying the collected pieces makes me smile remembering the thrill of the find and hopes for finding future treasures.

There is no overall china pattern featured in this hutch. Together the china forms a collage of different styles themed "Christmas". So perhaps the first set I show you should be a design that is actually a collage.

And what a collage on the face of these plates! The Eiffel tower catches your eye, with botanical pine cones and mistletoe in gold; snowflakes and calligraphic swirls, and golden Joyeux Noel script and a Paris circle stamp.

Love at first sight...
[ 222 Fifth, PTS International, made these plates, pattern name Joyeux Noel, around 2012 to 2018. I have two red desert plates (8.5 inch diameter) and two white dinner plates (11 inch diameter). ]

The Danish artist Tord Boonjte designed the whimsical plate above. I admired Tord's art long before I found these four plates at resale prices. This design is a collage of a different sort.
Tord said this about design:
"Modernism does not mean minimalism,
contemporary does not forsake tradition,
and technology does not mean abandon people and senses."
- Tord Boontje
The traditional silhouettes of snowflakes and flowers, animals and stars delights the eyes. A very different collage than the Joyeus Noel plates, this contemporary style with traditional elements is not minimalistic, makes you smile, and yet is calming to the senses.

[ Tord Boonjte designed the "Christmas Day Studio Tord Boonjte" plates above for the Target department stores in 2006. ]
I think of my hutch arrangements as a collage created using porcelain!

| Image 6: Winter Hutch Detail |
Lenox's "Wintersong" Pattern, below, is possibly my favorite Holiday place setting that I own. I was lucky to find two place settings at an estate sale.

The plates feature a contemporary botanical and bird painting style. The red rimmed plate is large, though, 11.5 inches across and can only fits on the top shelf of my Welsh Dresser.

Another Lenox plate from 1995 is "Winter greeting", above. I have just one dinner plate of this pattern.

Setting up the Hutch can go fairly quickly. I can only hope that setting up and decorating the Christmas tree will go as fast.
