Wanted vintage China teacups and saucers

avnol

Hi all hope this is the right forum to post on. I'm pulling my hair out trying to source 20 vintage China teacups and saucers. I have walked the streets and checked all the 2nd hand shops. I don't mind a mismatch at all looking for the nice colourful floral variety. Would appreciate any help. I honestly don't have the €80 upwards that some vintage shops are asking for a set. Thanks in advance x

Would you think about hiring them? I'm renting them from this company http://vintagechinahire.ie/37-2/ they are €2 per set of teacup, saucer and side plate

At that price i don't think you will find that many grouped together as they have become quite fashionable now.

Your best bet is to buy individual cups and saucers from charity and antique shops or car boot sales.

You could try tk maxx as well they could have mismatched pieces in their clearance section.

He I would be looking to buy separate little pieces rather than a big set. Ye I know they are gone very expensive. I've been looking in the charity shops but can't find any. Tk max could be an idea alright I'll keep an eye out in there. I know if I could source someone selling some of their collection that they built up for their wedding would be perfect but actually finding someone like that is difficult. Thanks for your suggestions X

Yeah I need way too much to warrant buying it but I was thinking of buying some pieces but most i saw were pretty expensive. Where are you based? If I see some I'll let you know where it is
