I've always liked the tree on the plate and only seen it on Spode. It just never looked like a "happy tree." I can't rationalize the insane cost of Spode. So I have been looking since the 90s. I own a poinsettia set of China but was looking for something new. Lo and behold...Wayfair,holiday aisle. These are bright,festive and has a happy tree. They make me happy. I love them so I got 2 sets. You can accessorize with any of the colors on the dishes. If they're available next year...I am going to give it as gifts. Thank you Wayfair.
