Just donate the lot to the local Greek restaurant

Or give them to your local Scout group for when they next have a ‘crockery smash’ stall at a fair. Kids young and old find it fabulously satisfying lobbing a ball at stacked crockery and seeing and hearing it smash.

Ha ha we do, my father in law also has the full collection including signed drawing by Carl Barks, it's mad to see as they're just dotted around the house like regular ornaments
This is an interesting read, specially the bit where they smash up the rest of the collection
