Delicious cookies are holiday favorites, and this simple, handsome cookie jar is just the way to store them. It's also suitable for a holiday-themed display when empty. White with rich red and green holly and ivy, the jar's side includes the lyrics to an ancient English carol: The holly and the ivy, when they are both full grown, of all the trees that are in the woods the holly bears the crown. Standing 9-inches tall and sporting a diameter of 7-inches, the jar holds plenty of your favorite holiday cookies--ginger snaps, gingerbread men, or basler lekeli--while the snug-fitting lid keeps them fresh for days.

Portmeirion's Holly and Ivy pattern was designed by second-generation Portmeirion designer Anwyl Cooper-Willis in 1996 as a contemporary arrangement of antique illustrations with a flowing script of a lyric from the 17th Century English carol it's named after. The design and script are hand-painted on high-quality earthenware, and the dish is safe in the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher--making preparation, serving, and clean-up a breeze. It can also be placed in the oven and heated gradually up to 340 degrees F. Match with any Holly and Ivy piece, or coordinate with the Botanic Garden collection. --Jeff Dalto Anwyl Cooper-Willis, second generation Portmeirion artist, brings us Holly and Ivy. Created in 1995, it is now a holiday classic. The Holly and Ivy is the contemporary arrangement of an antique illustration of rich green foliage and lush red berries. Evocative of the traditional English Christmas, the collection includes dinnerware, giftware and cookware in Portmeirion's romantic dinnerware shape. This is the perfect pattern to start your own holiday entertaining tradition for generations to come. The Storage/Cookie Jar makes storing your favorite holiday treats a beautiful thing.
