 Poor quality - made in MalaysiaDec 12, 2007
By the girls
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.

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 GlazingDec 05, 2008
By brandonsg1
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.

This dinnerware is NOT made in England.Dec 10, 2007
By Florida MD

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.

 Not mama's heirloomsDec 15, 2007
By tootsie
It is a shame when a respected English china company sells out local workers & moves production to Asia.
The 'new' china and flatware is ok for Xmas novelties, but the heirlooms passed down from mom to the kids is a thing of the past.
The sad part is (like another reviewer mentioned) the list prices for this Asian junk are pretty steep.
I suggest taking your chances buying the old English-made stuff on ebay & hoping it arrives as advertised. If successful you'll have 'the good stuff' instead of mass-produced, inferior quality nic-nacs.
