Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A festive way to infuse holiday gatherings with a sense of elegance and nostalgia, this enchanting 12-piece dinnerware set includes four three-piece place settings comprised of a 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, an 8-inch salad plate, and a 9-ounce mug. Gracefully curved handles allow guests to easily sip coffee, cocoa, or cider from the mugs, while the dinner plates and salad plates recess slightly at the center to prevent spills while filling up at the buffet. Furthermore, the collector-worthy set looks as beautiful displayed in an open cabinet or glass-front hutch as it does spread across the table for Christmas dinner.
Made in England of Imperialware--Spode's exceptionally durable porcelain earthenware, the set brings the appearance of fine china with the resilience of more practical tableware to family meals and other social events. Its milk-white backdrop sets a luscious holiday scene--complete with ornament-festooned Christmas trees and piles of wrapped gifts, all framed by thick green banding. In addition, a scattering of holly leaves and mistletoe sprigs tastefully accents the plates and the interior of each mug. Best of all, the classic pattern layers attractively with complementary table linens, and it coordinates perfectly with matching serveware and other pieces from Spode's classic Christmas Tree collection (sold separately). For exceptional convenience, the dinnerware set can be safely used in the microwave, dishwasher, oven, and freezer.
What's in the Box
4 place settings. Each place setting consists of: 10-1/2-inch dinner plate; 8-inch salad plate; 9-ounce mug. 12 pieces total.

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!

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.
