Incomplete china set. 3 x teacups, 3 x dinner plates, 7 x dished plates, 3 x small plates, 1 x oval plate.
Given the absence of a manufacturer's stamp, and the presence of a generic 'made in china stamp' my intuition tells me that it is a generic, cheap china set.
Very interested to hear the advice of someone more learned.
