Wedgwood China - any ideas on selling/giving away?

In the mid 1960s, my DH and I were given a dinner set in Wedgwood Ice Rose; a coffee set in Flame Rose and a Royal Doulton tea set in Tumbling Leaves. Sixty years later and we are desperately trying to reduce the huge amount of items we have acquired. We thought we would start with this china which we have only displayed, never used. I have tried the online companies but they are not interested, neither are auction houses. We would happily donate, rather than sell. Can any of you helpful Gransnetters come up with suggestions, please?

I know a Japanese lady who buys Limoges and breaks it up to make jewellery. It’s the sort with shepherdesses and gilt on it . It’s thought to be cute- kawaii

I could cry at the thought

When I depart please feel to come to my house and help yourselves to my large collection of Moorcroft most pre 1920. My children will hire a skip!
