Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which parts of the Spode Christmas Tree pattern are made into jewelry?
Spode Christmas Tree china jewelry features almost any part of this classic design: Santa at the top of the tree, the ornaments, the yellow house, the soldier, the mistletoe, the colorful wrapped gifts below the tree, and even the holly from the cup and saucer. Since its introduction in 1938, Spode Christmas Tree has become one of the signature patterns of holiday china. It's often described as one of the best-selling holiday dinnerware patterns in the United States, and it remains a Christmas tradition in homes across the US and beyond.
Can I get Spode Christmas Tree jewelry with a matching mug or tea cup?
Yes. At eclectiQuas, a vintage Spode Christmas Tree mug and a vintage Spode Christmas Tree tea cup and saucer, both in excellent vintage condition, are each available with matching jewelry made from the same pattern---so the china she sips from matches the china she wears. Each is sold separately, so you can choose the china, the jewelry, or both. For a ready-to-give gift, the Christmas tea gift box pairs a vintage Spode Christmas Tree tea cup and saucer with quality tea accessories and a printed insert on the history of its china pattern, with the option to add a pendant necklace made from matching china.
What's a unique Christmas gift for someone who loves vintage Christmas china?
Christmas broken china jewelry, handmade from the holiday china patterns she already loves, or from whimsical Christmas designs that capture the spirit of the season, lets her enjoy them at every holiday gathering, not just on the Christmas table. These necklaces, earrings, and rings are handmade from favorite patterns such as Spode Christmas Tree, Lenox Holiday, Lenox Sleighride, Lenox Eternal Christmas, and Villeroy & Boch Toy's Delight. For an even more meaningful gift, pair a piece of jewelry with a matching vintage mug or tea cup and saucer from the same pattern.
Is red and white china jewelry a good choice for Christmas?
Yes. Red and white china carries the colors of Christmas without a holiday motif, so the jewelry works through December and well beyond. Red transferware and red chinoiserie patterns, such as Red Willow and Staffordshire Red Calico, show florals, pagodas, and garden scenes printed in deep red on white, a natural match for holiday parties and festive outfits. After the holidays, the same pieces suit Valentine's Day and everyday wear. See more in the Red Chinoiserie & Red/White China and Christmas China Jewelry collections.
