Mauri & all,

That set sounds valuable, china sets used to be "the thing" for wedding presents, we still have some bits left, also bits of Limoge & other china, that are lovely to look at, but seldom used.

I remember breaking a beautiful coloured glass Rooster, a present from a famous glass-blowing factory in Europe. I was dusting & swept it off the cabinet onto the floor, where it broke into bits.

Young & foolish & not careful of good stuff than....Pat

Pat, Ann, When we downsized to move into this condo we had to get rid of a lot of stuff which included a china dinner set which my brother in law who also had served in the Royal Navy had purchased in Japan we gave it to one of Joy's kids not sure how many pieces it has, still have a pile of extra stuff like ornaments and pictures which are just lying in the den, one of these days I will find the energy to dump it all somewhere.

Donald that teaset I'm sure is valuable too. I also have China here which is over 50 years old. No one wants China sets now unfortunately but I have no doubt theyll come back into fashion again.
