Illuminated Battery Op. Porcelain Nostalgic Christmas Tree 

Illuminated Battery Op. Porcelain Nostalgic Christmas Tree

I gave this tree a poor review and wound up sending it back. I put batteries in it, and from across the room, the only lights I could barely see lit were the yellow ones. IT's a beautiful tree, but not worth the money IMO. Maybe Bethleham Lights will come out with an improved version this year Smiley Happy


WOW...that's good to know Susan. Thanks for the HU. I would have been disappointed too.  Maybe they will re-introduce a better version.


Unfortunately, the saturation of color in the blue, red and green plastic bulbs didn't allow enough light to shine through. I did try and see if I could remove those bulbs with replacement ones I had already from home-made ceramic trees...nope, glued in too well...lol

 

I was real surprised that someone in the developmental dept of BL didn't care to improve this issue...boggles the mind that nobody else stood back from across a room and cared to make the improvement then...makes my head hurt.

Right??? I hear you.  That does sound sort of crazy. Sometimes I wonder how certain items make it past QC.  It is disappointing to have that happen when you really love an item.

BTS, Well, it is going to be a no on the Lenox tree for now. It looks so much better in the video than in the pics, and the lights do appear uniformly lit although subtle.

A small voice in my head keeps asking why the branch tips wouldn't be snowy white on a white tree. I will probably wait for reviews. The trees on the Texas site are so nice and are very similar to my L/XL one and my grandma's white tree with multi-colored birds.

Anyone who ordered it, please give a review when you get it.

For the clear fans...


That would be me with the clear lights on a white tree.  I'm just not a fan of multi color lights.

The photos you are posting from Texas Ceramics are beautifil.  I  used to love going to ceramics, and made many different trees for friends and family.  Unfortunately, all the ceramic studios where I live have closed.

It would be difficult to digest, I'm sure.  Poor Mr Crazy, does he ever read any of these posts?  :-)

I like that tree, but would rather see the star light up.  It's pretty painted in gold, but at night in the dark wouldn't show.

 

I, too, bought the white tree from QVC last year; quality is not fabulous but i keep it on the back of the commode in the master and it's a cute night light.  I have the green one, too, for seasonal use in the library.

I love all these ceramic trees. They remind me of the ones we would buy (and make) back in the day. My house was filled with these when I was growing up. My dear departed aunt made beautiful trees and Santas that my mother still puts out every year. I started taking ceramics class after she passed and began contributing to mom's collection at age 10!

Like a few others, I ordered a ceramic tree from QVC and could not believe the poor quality. It went back ASAP. Zero quality control. All the issues others have described.
