Review title: Spode Christmas Tree Mugs
Product review: Our family has owned the Spode Christmas Tree china for over thirty years. The pieces are used for the month of December every year. They still look like the day we purchased them. The originals were made in England. Several years ago, production was sent to China. The quality of these pieces is just awful. Eight mugs had to be discarded due to crazing. Wine glasses are a different color pattern from the originals and the Christmas trees are haphazardly placed on the different pieces. I should have asked the seller about the country of origin. My mistake. We have not used them yet, but don't expect much. I should have returned them, but after Christmas, I was too tired and didn't need one more trip to the post office. I would advise anyone who wants Spode Christmas tree items to try ebay and look for older pieces stamped made in England. China really needs to step up their quality control if they want to stay in the manufacturing business.
