Chinese China Is A Disappointment

They informed me that there would be a delay as they were waiting for a delivery. They kept me informed and my order arrived earlier than I expected.
Spode Blue Room Collection Mug
I have a mug in this Spode range made in England that is fine china. I was disappointed by the quality of a Spode mug (made in China) in this range from a different seller so I hoped that the Spode mugs from Chinasearch would be better as more expensive. Not so ! The Spode mugs from Chinasearch are made in China and are thicker and more like crockery than fine china. Really ironic as 'china' first came from China. Spode's standards have really dropped. It's very disappointing as all drinks taste better from thinner fine china, which is actually more robust than thicker crockery. If all Spode's modern production is like this then I'll just have to check the charity shops.
Comment from Chinasearch:
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that were disappointed with the mug we sent you. Spode do now produce some items overseas. As most of this pattern is now discontinued we also offer to search for missing pieces. These will be previously owned and may include older items that would have been made in England. Mugs are always more difficult to find as they often get used more and then get broken. Your are welcome to return items you are not happy to keep.
