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!

When I received this set from Amazon, I was extremely disappointed to find that it is made in Malaysia, NOT England. I looked at numerous pieces in the Spode Christmas Tree line at Macy’s, and discovered that almost all of them are made in Malaysia or China. I believe that Amazon has incorrectly listed the country of origin as England for a number of these pieces.
At Macy’s I compared the coloring of plates made in England with pieces from Malaysia and China. There are subtle differences, particularly in the color red.
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.
