Fine bone china set - price check?

    I found a 20pc set of fine bone china in the attic from years ago. Is there any way to tell how much it's worth?
    I can't find much online, except an African website selling it cheap.
    It's called 'Spring Garlands designed by Candida Hand' by Royal Wessex. It includes 4x of each - teacups, saucers, dinner plates, side plates, bowls.
    Pictures of the teacup, saucer and side plate can be found on google images. (I can't post it)

    Many thanks!

    I don't know this particular brand but there have been a few trios (cup/saucer/sideplate) sold on line for between €8-10 but I suspect that you might be best showing them to your local auctioneer as selling such items on eBay is fraught with problems such as packing/insurance etc. :)

    Thanks for that. How much do you reckon I should put them all on adverts for?

    Personally, they are not the kind of thing that I'd try and sell on Adverts - it's not like a book/DVD etc. and anybody wanting to buy will want to see the stuff first with all the hassle that entails. I'd say €50-70 and be thankful if you get it. Sorry not to be more optimistic but there's plenty of similar items on Adverts and plenty of tyre kickers. :)

    That tea set was made in China in the 1970's.

    You're hgoing to find it very difficult to shift a set like that for any money...unless somebody wants it as a wedding present for a friend and then only if it's in the box.

    Maybe psot it up on adverts for 30 quid and see what happens but as has been said you might well be driven mad with timewasters.

    If you put it on Adverts for €30 you'll end up selling for €10 - if you're lucky - but if you stick it on for €50-70 you might (on a good day) get €20-30.
