I have very few pieces, but they are precious to me.

The photo works well enough on my screen. I am afraid we are ruthless and if it won't go in the dishwasher, we don't want it. But we do have three sets of cutlery and old coffee service in the spare room wardrobe. They can all be someone else's problem one day. I don't think you can get much in the way of cash for such things. I think I did enquire once. I am not sure who will take my mother's old display cups and sauces etc, but it won't be us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-52577170470894043502014-12-03T03:12:45.673+11:002014-12-03T03:12:45.673+11:00Beautiful pieces.

My mother left her china to my daughters and niece; one is Haviland china (very old and complete), one is a rose pattern similar to the one you have showing, and one is a beautiful deep blue and white that she purchased in Hungary. But my husband inherited china from his grandmother and a beautiful set of American Fostoria from his mom, also his grandmothers. For now I have the storage room, but I have no idea what we will do with these some day. You have some beautiful designs.Linda Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237332954767037400noreply@blogger.com
