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 ... Read More

Purchased these last year and used them at Christmas. They made a gorgeous table setting and have not had any problems with them. They are very well made. I am buying another set so I can invite more guests!
Rating: - Not mama's heirlooms
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.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - Cheap Quality--Made in Maylasia
I tried to rate this product on Macy's several days ago, where I stated that this product is made in Maylasia and for potential buyers to be aware of that, but they did not publish my review. So, do know that Macy's only posts reviews that help boost their sales. Kudos to Amazon for publishing our reviews!! So, do be aware that the Spode Christmas Tree pattern is no longer manufactured in England (like it was for the past 60 years) and now made strictly in China and Maylasia. Spode touts itself as being this great British company with a tradition of making fine china, but their objective is now ... Read More
