In our grandmother's day, every Sunday was a large family dinner set with the best china, crystal, and silver...what fun memories.  When a young couple got married, they registered for china, crystal, and silver.  Those are days long gone but people still collect these items and use them occassionally.  We have pieces from many patterns, so make sure you look for yours.   Special types such as chintz and blue willow are very collectible. Companies such as Homer Laughlin, Lenox, Haviland, Spode, Beleek, Johnson Bros.,  Limoge, etc. are quality companies that collectors cherish.

 

 

People also used figurines as decorations in their homes and china closets.  Josef, Royal Doulton, Lefton, Enesco,Napco, LLadro are just a few of the companies that produced these figurines.

 

China cups and saucers have always been collectible and we see such companies as Royal Albert, Anysley,
