A Wonderful Pattern
When I originally chose my holiday china pattern, I chose Spode "Christmas Tree". After all, it contained every serving piece known to man, was reasonably priced, and, knowing it's reputation, would be around forever. The only problem was, it bored me to tears. Dull,dull,dull.
Then in 2000, a new holiday appeared in the Lenox line. Not only was it cheerful, it could be used for Thanksgiving and even a few other occasions on which a happy non-sophisticated pattern was appropriate.
I began to collect. Amazon has, at times, been a price blessing; however, they aren't the only on-line concerns to produce great prices, but I always try them first.
One caution for those looking for a formal pattern. Lenox has, in the last 3 years. moved to a more casual look, i.e., mugs instead of footed cups and saucers and the like. The 5 piece place settings ARE still available, but not the formal sugar, creamer, and coffee pots. Your best bets for those are china...
made in USA
Beautiful lenox. Too bad the pattern is discontinued as of this year. Too bad that some pieces are not made in the USA. If you are like me and prefer products produced in the US, need to check individual pieces of this Lenox pattern for country of origin.
Outstanding Value
Discovered this pattern a few years back but never wanted to spend the extra money on it. Every holiday season I would look at it and talk myself out of it. I decided this Christmas that I would just start collecting a place setting at a time because it was just so beautiful and could be used for Christmas and Thanksgiving. I started searching for the best price and could not believe the low price that Amazon offered. On top of the low price, there was also free shipping. I discussed this with my husband who said I should go ahead and get 8 place settings at this deal. Arrived within 3 days in perfect condition.It was like Christmas all over again as I took each place setting from it's box. It is absolutely beautiful and I am so glad I found this wonderful deal.
