My Langley Denny Chatsworth dinner service has been stored away for many years. I can’t believe the prices I’ve just seen on eBay!

I would try and sell it .but charity shops are good too

My daughter got her dinner set from charity shop,Denby, blue colour. They are their 30s now. I'm always looking out for extra bits to add to it for them.

As on another thread, use/wear items, don't save til best. No one knows what's round the corner. Live day by day.

Donate, I'm sure someone else would love it.

Everyday ware here is Denby Regency Green. I have two dinner sets, one being a Mason's, and the other, Royal Worcester Evesham, bought at their factory shop. I still like them both, though they've been redundant recently, and sometimes it feels as though they'll never be needed for visitors again!

I have Denby Storm (Plum) which comes out on Sundays if we have guests and at Christmas.
It is very heavy but (touch wood) in perfect condition .

I also have a set of the everyday Pepper which is now discontinued. There's been a few breakages over the years and while there's still enough for the 2 of us I'm pondering replacing with something lighter.

May I ask what is considered a tea set, and a half-tea set?

When I was in my 20's I was gifted one place setting of 'whisper', but sadly I couldn't afford to carry on. Years later it ended up with the camping gear which included any mismatched tablewear.

I love Denby, but find all stonewear very heavy. I especially like the 'natural canvas' pattern. I would like to treat myself to nice table wear, but may opt for porcelain instead of stoneware.

All my crocks are odds and ends mostly bought from charity shops. I especially like the Denby plates as food looks appetising on it. It is heavy and I almost did not buy it because of that but am used to it now.
