    We try not to give prices because there are so many factors that you have to take into account. That being said , I can say unless extremely rare 99.99% of china today is a hard,if not impossible sell . No one uses it ,no one under 60 wants it , and most thrifts are groaning with it.

    Value depends upon where you are located, what's hot and what's not, we don't ordinarily guess values, but at a garage sale, I would buy a cup, saucer and dessert dish for one dollar for the trio, but I would probably not spend more than that on old dishes that don't match the rest of my china.

    Nowadays, many people have concern that old china could have lead metals.

    On the other hand, if you list them on ebay for auction as a lot, someone with the rest of the set MIGHT find them. It would cost a small fortune to ship them out. I wouldn't want to bet any money on that because ebay's search engine seems miserable lately...

    Old China does sell but not for great prices unless rare. I completed 2 dinner services belonging to my late mother for mere fractions of what she must have paid originally. A little sad perhaps but the bonus is we can eat frequently from what was previously reserved for “Sunday best” and I know I can get more if anything gets broken.
