This is only one of several teacups and saucers that I've been blessed to receive from my grandmother. Each set is different than the other. Most are numbered and most are made in England. I know that I am English in heritage several generations ago. This one is printed with the year 1789 and is the reason I chose it for this appraisal. Also this one has been hand numbered and trimmed in gold.
In our efforts to make room for baby we need to unload this sturdy, functional, and lovely desk. It is in really great shape, though a little worn at the front and with well used drawers. We inherited this from my husband's grandmother who lived in St. Louis MO. She had an excellent eye for art and furniture. In addition to your expert appraisal advice I would appreciate any ideas on selling this piece so it finds a good and respeciatble home, I hate to see it go.
