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.Just donate the lot to the local Greek restaurant

We asked for and were given a load of Royal Doulton Oxford Blue when we got married. It is rather lovely and we still use if we have friends round for dinner and on special occasions. My grandparents wedding present dinner service (they were married in the 1920s) is beautifully elegant and we have used it a few times since mum passed.Sad but true, although there will always be one or two valuable things in such house clearances, it's having the expertise to recognise them amongst the tat.
The best thing to do with fine china dinner services is to use them to eat your dinner from rather than storing them away, live the high life!

My lad has a load of Pokémon cards that he keeps with us. He reckons some of the ‘shiny’ specials could be worth a fair bit and wants them kept safe with us.I have some Wedgwood frog service plates and stuff. When you look at the work gone into them and how much they’re worth.
But times move on. Me bro made a fortune on star wars Stuff. That’s gone quiet and now he is making a Fortune on Pokémon cards. There crap but a fool And his money.

This is an interesting read, specially the bit where they smash up the rest of the collection
Disney Characters in Porcelain by Connoisseur of Malvern
Although Disney characters are hardly the first things that come to mind when one thinks of the Connoisseur of Malvern porcelain studio, there were a surprising number of such designs, all produced…

Sounds like a great excuse for a Greek night!
