The Holly Leaf Dish That Reads Vintage in the Best Way.

Charmed House Interiors · Kitchen/Bar

A single holly leaf sculpted in ceramic, complete with pressed veining, spiked edges and a cluster of red berries at the stem. The deep green glaze pools slightly in the hollows the way old majolica does — glossy, uneven, quietly antique. Shallow and elegant, it holds nuts, olives or sweets without ever looking like a bowl.

The kind of piece people assume you inherited.

Style note — the drinks table: Fill it with spiced pecans or salted almonds for guests to pick at.

Style note — the bookshelf: Empty, it works as sculpture propped against a stack of old hardbacks.

Two Ways to Style It

On a rustic timber sideboard. Stack it with vintage books, brass baubles and a green glass candlestick — the majolica green sits beautifully against warm, worn wood.

On a formal green-and-gold table. Set one at each end filled with olives and cornichons, echoing the greenery running down the centre.
