Wedgwood China - any ideas on selling/giving away?

Not long ago even charities wouldn’t take full sets of china which we loved but is now deemed old fashioned.
It is very sad but a sign of the times.

It’s sad isn’t it?

We recently moved and I wanted a new more up to date dinner service, I couldn’t give my Royal Doulton away.

I packed it all up and gave it to a charity shop.

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?
