The first course sets the tone for the entire holiday feast, and the Crimson Noel Soup Bowls set it magnificently. Six assorted wide-rimmed porcelain bowls, each carrying a different chapter of the collection's deep crimson botanical toile story across the broad, 9.25-inch rim bold poinsettia blooms in fine engraving-quality linework, sharp architectural holly, winding pine and flowering vine against brilliant white porcelain. Fill them with whatever the season calls for: a silky chestnut bisque, a fragrant roasted tomato and herb soup, a rich wild mushroom broth with a swirl of creme fraiche. Six seats. Six unique compositions in crimson and white. One holiday table that no one at it will ever forget six bowls in assorted crimson toile designs, each bringing the collection's most commanding botanical artistry to the season's most ceremonially significant course, at a holiday table dressed in the full, bold glory of Crimson Noel.
