Royal Grafton, Princess Anne, Royal Bayreuth, Parma, Royal Chelsea and more; tea cups saucers

Profile picture for user LJ in ME

Description

My grandmother to my mother to me but not for next generation. I have 20+ various tea cups and saucers only displayed in dining hutch. Here I'm limited to just these photos but can send the other sets to someone who will help. I've spent many hours researching what to do with them so they don't get thrown away since I'm downsizing next year. Donate to Goodwill, Sell to donate the money, Find a tea house business interested, Drill holes in them for planters? Thoughts and opinions on these ideas and suggestions on how to move forward. Thank you all in advance. I appreciate your time helping me.

Lovely things, sadly demand has fallen drastically as the market has been over loaded by downsizing boomers all at the same time. Avertising them and selling them would be time consuming for what you would get. I would suggest contacting local dealers and sell the lot to them.

Teacup and saucer collection

I'd group them as a collection and auction them on eBay. You may not get much but there are folks that really like to use these in various crafty ways, i.e. bird feeders, mosaics, etc. Or just to add to their own collection. Or have a tea party!

My Grammie collected demitasse cups and saucers. Luckily, she had lots of granddaughters that were able to pick the ones they liked the best to remember her by when she passed.

Try looking up the patterns on replacements.com to be sure that you're not just giving the collection away. They have a very good image match where you can download a photo if you can't find the pattern name. Remember, the prices you see there are retail prices, not auction prices which are far lower.

If you have anything by Herend (various patterns), Royal Copenhagen ("Flora Danica" pattern), Tiffany ("Cirque Chinois" pattern), or Royal Crown Derby ("Old Imari" pattern) auction those separately as those patterns are extremely desirable. Check them on Replacements and you'll see what I mean.

Good luck!
