Oh so very beautiful!I've decided to part with a few items from my teacup collection. I'll be putting them out for my next yard sale. Anyone want to hazard a guess if I'll sell any?

I had one ornament .. a dog .. made in Occupied Japan. Gave it away with my entire collection.I had a friend who collected them if they were made in Occupied Japan.
I was always so honored to be served tea in a real china cup that it never had a chance to get cold!I love to look at china cups and saucers, my grandmother only ever served tea in china cups. Tea tastes so much better in them too...but it gets cold very quickly. I wouldn't have the space to collect any tho'..but that collection is lovely Deb..
@debodun What does the cup say...top picture, back row, 4th from left ?
Yes they are! Where is it written that all the teacups being used at the same time must match?Selling is always possible. There just might be someone that would want the entire collection. Have you thought about what you would ask for price wise for the entire collection?
I'm thinking while those are really nice, not having a full set of any of those, other than being really nice those aren't functional for everyday use.
Back when people appreciated quality.Yeah, but who's gonna shell out 100 bucks for a bunch of teacups? People just see teh bottom line and don't realize thay are paying just over $2 apiece. I was at a sale with my mom once and they wanted $10 to $15 apiece for their sets and that was like 25 years ago. But back then more people were collecting things.
No where that I know of. Just reflecting on why useful items are sold in sets. Of course if one has space & likes "stuff" to keep clean & look nice more power to them.Yes they are! Where is it written that all the teacups being used at the same time must match?
