    I purchased these 5 pieces at a thrift store for $30, https://photos.app.goo.gl/HvPmxCXD6YqE8kK66 (I think they're real, but correct me if I'm wrong)

    It is missing one of the cups, so I was thinking of buying one online. Are the meissen items on ebay generally reliable to buy? Or should I avoid that in case it's fake?

    Also, do these items have any value? They don't seem like very intricate pieces, and I'm not sure what to trust on online postings.

    I have one piece, that's the pink lily(?), that I can't find any information on. Does anyone know something about that one?

    A lot of folks here don't click links. You'll need to read the instructions of how to upload photos to the board so we can see them.

    I'm no expert, so take what I say with many grains of salt, but from the photos, they look genuine to me. 20th c. I'm pretty sure. Very sweet. You have roses and a chrysanthemum. If buying online, make sure you can return the item. Meissen porcelain is "whiter" than others which may seem "creamier" in colour.
