Though last year’s Holiday celebrations were widely halted due to the ongoing pandemic, this season’s festivities are set to be increasingly celebratory. For many, trotting out Holiday-themed dinnerware, vases, and table scapes has become as much of a tradition as the Holiday itself. While kitschy motifs and red and green color ways are traditionally used for Winter-time get togethers, the sphere of dishware is taking an increasingly understated approach to Holiday decor.

From sleek Hermès desert plates to geometric topaz table sets, Holiday dishware does not have to be filled with gingerbread imagery or cheeky hues. Below, V rounds up 12 chic must-have dishware items fit for the Holiday season.
