Review on Spode Christmas Square Handled Platter by Rhonda Johnson

Since 2009 when production moved from the factory to England the quality of this iconic Christmas model has been mixed at best but this 11" quad Dish coupe - a pleasant surprise. One of the things I've noticed since 2009 is that Christmas tree decals are often lifted rather than buried in the icing. Does it matter? Well, I find these products rough and don't know as they will wear over time.But on this dish the surface is perfectly smooth as the trees are dipped in the glaze.Another area of concern is the roughness on the reverse side - small areas where there is no glaze but also this is not a problem with this product. The dish I bought is perfectly smooth. The dish itself can be served in many quantities. E s can be used for candies, nuts, snacks, raw food, crackers, biscuits, olives/cucumbers, etc. The four compartments measure approximately 5 x 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches. Beautiful and functional.
