Poor quality – made in Malaysia,
These are similar to my Spode Christmas Tree dishes made in England – but very poor quality. There are bubbles in the finish and very definite spots on the back of the dishes where the glaze did not cover the clay. Very very disappointing. If you are looking for a cute set to serve at Christmas, these might be fine, but if you are expecting real English Spode, then do not order these.

Junk Made in Maylasia,
Be aware that the Spode Christmas Tree you used to know is not avaialable anymore. It is now manufactured in Maylasia and China. Same price, but total junk!

Classic Design, Good Price, Poor Quality Glazing,
Nothing will ever say “Christmas” to me like the classic Spode Christmas Tree china. It’s a classic and timeless design.
Amazon has a very good price for this set. It’s definitely more economical that purchasing individual pieces or place settings.
Unfortunately, the old English-made Spode Christmas tree is no longer available. These are made in Malaysia, and the quality of the glazing (especially on the back of the plates) is of significantly lower quality than the English version. That being said, the front of the plate looks good, and 99% of people aren’t going to flip it over and inspect the back.
