[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 438201, member: 22"]Hi Alizon, I have a very similar set, 48 pieces. I was told mine are dated 1928 from Japan I note you are in the UK like me. My set was brought home by my great uncle in the early 30's from Japan, he was on whaling ships and went to Japan to offload the whale oil. Where I live was a major whaling port so there were many sets brought home over the years and placed in china cabinets and never to be used, so a lot survived. Its amazing how many survived WWII bombing too. I was told these are worth a little more inland in the UK away from the fishing ports were they are not so common. I have no idea on value.
