I was searching thru some old posts and came across your Victorian china pattern. Grandma, 1917 etc. Hey - I LIKE it. I collected bird plates once, and I found your pattern very pleasing. Do you still have it or did you sell it? Did you use ebay? Or?

I know what it's like, tho, to inherit something and hate it, yet can't bring self to part with it.

I am struggling now with parting with a Mikasa set - don't know why - never use it. Maybe I should look to unload. The dinner plates are enormous. Most helpings look puny and no one would ever pursue weight loss using THOSE monsters.

After hauling the china + serving dishes around since the 1980's I
finally sold it to someone locally. They came and picked it up. I only
ever used it once in all that time. It was just taking up space.

How did you advertise them? Yard sale? Ad in the pay-puh?

It was Chelsea Bird pattern by Myott-Staffordshire.

I didn't inherit it, Mom did. I guess she didn't like it either; she
couldn't wait to gift it to me! LOL

I gave my oldest brother the Mikasa china (it was white with a green
bamboo pattern). I have no idea why Mom had so many sets of china or
dinnerware in general, for that matter. I donated the 1970's Corelle
dishes to the Salvation Army.

I still have the Franciscan Ware (Desert Rose pattern) plates with all
the accoutrements. That includes serving bowls and cups and saucers,
covered sugar bowl and cream pitcher. They're older than I am. I do
use them once in a while just to shake things up.

LOL!
