Quality of Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer
Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer scored an incredible 8.6/10 for quality.
As you’d expect with a lot of products, quality is a very important factor for choosing products in the “Crockery” category. But it’s even more important to consider and get a feel for quality when you’re buying online because you aren’t given the benefit of being able to see and try the item for yourself.
This is of course why we can’t stress enough the importance of reading lots of reviews, as it will really help you to get a good feel for how good the quality is. A top tip when reading the reviews is to use the search function on your browser and search for the word “quality” in the reviews that way you can skip straight to customers that have mentioned about the quality of Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer.
Once you’ve had a good look over the reviews you’ll have a pretty good indication of how good the quality of Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer is, but we also have the following factors that you should consider to get an idea of the quality of the product you’re looking at.
- Price: It probably sounds obvious, but there are links to the price you pay and the quality of a product. Try and set your expectations for the quality based on your budget. You wouldn’t expect a Rolls-Royce for the price of a Fiesta so bear this in mind when shopping.
- Specification: It’s a really good idea to look over the product description and specification section of the website, for Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer you can read the full details on the John Lewis & Partners website where it will give you all the detail you need. It’s useful as you’ll probably already have a good idea of the sort of specs that make good Crockery. Also compare these specs to other similar products that are in the same price bracket.
- Brand: Spode are obviously a strong and recognisable brand for making great Crockery, so you’d expect Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer to deliver to these expectations. But always consider the brand when you’re thinking about the quality of the product you’re going to buy, and where quality is an important factor to you, look only at those well known brands (of course only if your budget allows).
- Your experience with Crockery: You’ll no doubt have some history with buying Crockery, and you may have even bought products from the same brand, Spode, use this information to your advantage. You’ll probably have a good idea of how good the quality of the product was and any faults or floors you remember from it.

There’s a lot of geeky analysis to be done on price, but what we find most effective and informative is to look at 3 different figures when comparing products and that is the average price, the most expensive and the cheapest. This gives you a really good feel for what the normal product would cost but also giving you an idea of just how cheap you can find it or the opposite, just how expensive some are. It’s also useful to look at the average of the products that fit in the same category as well as products from the same brand. So we’re going to look in more detail now at the price of Spode Zoological Gardens Cup & Saucer.

- Description: From the John Lewis & Partners + Spode exclusive collaboration, this cup and saucer set features a reimagined print inspired by Spode’s archives. Made of strong English earthenware, it’s dishwasher, microwave, freezer and oven safe. This giftable piece and its packaging are made in the UK. Celebrating 250 years of craftsmanship, the Zoological Gardens range is a modern melding of Spode’s heritage designs, traditionally made in Stoke-on-Trent. John Lewis & Partners was fully involved in the research and selection of the Zoological Gardens shapes and patterns. Zoological Gardens The Zoological Gardens range draws inspiration from two well-known Spode tableware shapes: the traditional Camilla shape and the contemporary Artisan shape. The Zoological Gardens pattern is a mixture of three classic Spode designs: Zoological, Aesop’s Fable and Indian Sporting Scenes. The Zoological design was first introduced in the 19th century when many of the exotic animals depicted were regarded as curiosities and not widely known at the time. As well as wildlife motifs, Spode turned to well-known literacy themes and subjects in the performing arts to create new inspirational patterns, such as the Aesop’s Fable design in the 1830s. In the 1810s, Spode produced Indian Sporting Scenes with images of exotic, faraway places to stimulate the British public. We wanted to create something new and surprising from the past to celebrate Spode’s 250-year anniversary. Our exclusive Zoological Gardens range combines two of this iconic British brand’s most recognisable shapes, with an amalgamation of three designs from its history, in a contemporary colour palette. But what I love most is the fact that Spode still manufactures its products in the UK – from the shape to decoration and even the packaging, every element of Zoological Gardens has been designed and made in the UK, something I feel really proud of.
