Christmas holly leaves and flowers petals tiles coffee mug

Holly, with green foliage with pointed edges and round red fruits, is typically used in Christmas decorations. Holly's ability to resist cold and snow was interpreted as a symbol of immortality and protection by the Celtics. The Romans also collected holly, which they offered to Saturn during the Saturnalia festivities, very close to the date of the Christmas celebration. Christians also hung holly on the doors of their homes as a form of protection. Holly inspired the creation of this tilled pattern evoking the essence of Portugal's iconic blue tiles. In it, holly leaves interlace with delicate blue blossoms. Each element harmoniously weaves into the next, creating a mesmerising dance of nature. The holly's simplicity and the playful shape of flower petals embody a festive spirit. Reminiscent of traditional Portuguese design, this pattern invites you to wander through the beauty of nature and the joys of snowy winters. This product is ideal to offer to a Portuguese friend, to a relative, to someone of Portuguese descent, or to someone who appreciates Portuguese traditions.
