<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 10047127, member: 7360"]Thanks for your kind words! I was very ambivalent about bidding, especially after the comments here, but went for it in the end, and since mine was the only bid I got the three teasets for an incredibly cheap price. I only need to sell one thing from each set to make my money back, so it's really only the space and time I'm investing. The Japanese set is just as pretty in reality as it is in the photos. It is eggshell porcelain so rather fragile but I hope useable. I will list my first trio soon and report back on how I get on. Meanwhile I have to identify the makers of the other two sets, which may take some time, but they are also very bright and beautiful, and I'm glad I bought them. I think they are both Georgian but even that doesn't guarantee a sale these days, old china is so out of fashion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
