<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 162032, member: 308"]Welcome, Rebecca! I can hardly claim to be an expert on Roslyn china but will do what I can to help. As you have noted this pattern is not Roslyn Wheatcroft. One of the things I have found so frustrating about selling Roslyn is the lack of pattern names. As far as selling I believe I would sell this as one lot noting the R692 in the title and description. I would use a title such as Roslyn China R692 Partial Set (13 pcs) - Yellow Roses. If that's too long drop the word "partial". The starting auction price should reflect what other partial tea sets are selling for. As you have not come across this pattern in your searching, the logical assumption is that it was not a widely distributed pattern. Accordingly, your buyer may be someone who likes yellow roses as opposed to someone looking for pieces to complete a set. Realistically, IMHO, you will be lucky to get $50 for the set. I know you would like to do much better for your husband's grandmother but it may have more value as a family heirloom at this point. There seems to be an abundance of English china from the 1950's - 1960s on the market right now. Please understand this is just my own opinion based on my own experience and I would be absolutely delighted if the set sells for much more. Best of luck to you.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
