Amazon.com Review
Dating back to 1938, Spode Christmas Tree dinnerware creates an air of gentle merriment with an image of a lovingly decorated evergreen. In this five-piece place setting, the tree is repeated in careful detail on every piece. Its bright colors, festive ornaments, old-fashioned presents, and charming Santa figure are both cheering and enduring. Sprigs of holly and mistletoe and wide green banding form tasteful accents. Service for one, this set includes a 10-1/2-inch dinner plate, a 7-3/4-inch salad plate, a 6-1/4-inch bread and butter plate, a 5-1/2-inch saucer, and a 7-ounce teacup. Each piece is crafted from durable earthenware that is safe in the microwave and dishwasher. Christmas Tree accessories and oven-to-table serving pieces are also available. --Emily Bedard What's in the Box

 Paint Issues November 30, 2008
On Thanksgiving we were shocked to open up our china storage cases and find that the green band on our Spode was chipping off. Mind you, these plates have been used only a few times over the past 12 years. We store them in cushioned cases, with bubble wrap between each plate. We have NEVER put them in the dishwasher. They have been treated and stored with great care as they were a gift from a deceased loved-one.
Now on Amazon, I see that there is a clear problem. Too many people are reporting paint failures for this to be caused by dishwashers or improper care. The people that have had their sets for 20+ years - obviously there was a time when Spode took great care to produce quality china. Today however, you never know what you will get. The Spode name is no longer necessarily a sign of quality.
What I am most surprised about is this comment on the Spode website: "Certain tableware patterns will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm." Certain? Which? The ones that are flaking apart on our holiday tables??
When lead paint chips/peels/flakes, lead dust can land anywhere. This is a serious health concern far more important than just our plates not looking good! E-mail Spode and let them know that this is unacceptable!
12/29/08 Follow-up: We had lead testing done on these plates, and they WERE VERY positive. They were made in England, early 1990's. Spode has offered to replace them, but I don't want them in my home.
CHEAP December 25, 2007
NOT ALL made in England, only a few pieces and the ones made in Malaysia look like $h!+. I have 10 settings made in England, wanted 12 but NOT from this place.
Not Your Mother's Spode Christmas Tree December 8, 2007

I started collecting this pattern about 3 years ago because several of my family members have had it and I have always loved it because it is such a Christmas classic. I love the pieces I purchased a few years ago. But BEWARE, this pattern is no longer made in England, but now made in Malaysia. I just returned from Macy's where I was planning on purchasing many more pieces. I picked up a plate today at Macy's and noted that it seemed cheap, so I turned it over and it read "Made in Malaysia". Every single plate, mug, bowl at Macy's was marked "Made in Malaysia." The prices have stayed the same, but the quality has plummeted big time on this. I'm very sad and plan on getting rid of my entire collection and starting over with something made of better quality.

I have been buying Spode for years. I love them. They are really beautiful. However, recents purchases have not had the quality as my older dishes. I've noticed that on the newer dishes, the bottom bottom side is not smooth. It's rough, has bubbles and holes. I don't like the way they feel.
Very Poor Quality December 25, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased 8 place settings of the Spode Christmas Tree pattern for my wife for Christmas. Every set was seriously defective, many places had no glazing at all. There were rough spots throughout, including very bad places on the rims of cups. This is the worst quality in dishes of any price I have ever seen. Do not buy this product; you will be deeply disappointed.
