What better gift than this tea set for someone who loves to bake cookies and have a friend over for afternoon tea? The set includes a two-pint teapot, lidded sugar bowl that holds 9-1/2 ounces, and a sweet cream pitcher that holds 11-1/2 ounces. Arched handles, domed lids with mushroom-shaped knobs, and a swan's-neck spout on the teapot add graceful touches to the classic Spode Ascot shapes. Glossy white with bands of green trim, each piece is decorated with Spode's famous Christmas tree, along with sprigs of holly and mistletoe to complete the festive look. Spode's Christmas Tree pattern has delighted families and collectors since its introduction in 1938. Made of high-quality earthenware, known as Imperialware, both the teapot and cream jug are safe for heating liquids in the microwave, and cleaning afterward in the dishwasher. Made in Malaysia rather than England, the tea set complements an extensive range of Christmas Tree dinnerware, serving ware, and accessories. Spode packages the set in its signature red holiday box with a clear window. -Ann Bieri What's in the Box Tea set consisting of: 2-pint teapot; 9-1/2-ounce lidded sugar bowl; 11-1/2-ounce creamer. 3 items total.
