Anyone know anything about china?

This was back in 2002 when my Mum died and I cleared their house.
They had some beautiful china sets - one was a teaset made of very fragile china from China itself, passed down from GGPs.
I showed some of the pieces to people at local auctioneers but they said there's no demand now.

A couple of years ago I put a pottery not China (but Chinese) tea pot, I had bought back for my Nan 50 odd years ago on eBay I put it on for ten maybe fifteen pounds it was a thick bland sandy colour with some Chinese writing on it It went up past £100 I was absolutely delighted And terrible surprised it wasn’t pretty at all I ve no idea what the writing said !!!

Try first I think it deserves a try before going to the charity shop Put it on eBay, for say £40 and see where it goes you can always remove it if you don’t see any interest

It's very sad how little value these old sets seem to have these days.

Luckygirl no, not charity shop! Try to sell it first.

Yes, it can be a bit of a pain, but give it a go!

If you would like to PM me I have a number for a lady that buys whole/part dinner services.
She gave me a fair price for some Wedgwood, she was happy to collect.

Thanks for these ideas.

It is very hard to get some sort of picture of the value of a whole dinner service. I do not know what is most relevant from the marks: Bridgwood or Waring and Gillow. I cannot find any whole services listed anywhere.

Callistemon fund a dinner service on ebay for £390, but it was Limoges/Waring and Gillow (who were furniture manufacturers!).

I can feel a charity shop beckoning!!!

I just had a look on eBay-you can see some items to get an idea of their price. There is a teapot on for £20.

Put Bridgwood China backstamps in your search engine Luckygirl lots of information there.

There’s a waring and gillow “old chealsea” teapot only..... going for £20 on eBay that’s just the tea pot
If that’s any help, I d eBay it !
