Richard asks…

Where can i hire vintage china from in Suffolk?

I am interested in hiring vintage china for my wedding. I live in Suffolk anyone know of anywhere?

Ling answers:

I'm afraid you've asked in the wrong category; this is "China" as in the country, not as in pottery or dishes.
However, I'll try and help you, since you're here: this company specializes in hiring china for special occasions, and it's located in Suffolk, Essex, so it may be exactly what you need:

What is best way to sell vintage china?

I have a varity of old vintage dinner plates,&saucers,some maked with Elks club logo.What would be best way to sell these things.Very beautifull old china. Thanks Ken

Ling answers:

I helped my grandmother sell a lot Of Antique China on e-bay and she got a LOT more money than she had expected for it!

E-bay buyers are often looking for specialty things, so I think that would be your best bet to get the most money for what you're selling (which sounds like it might be hard to find, but something that people would look for!)

Also, you can set a "reserve" price so that you can make sure you get a certain amount of money for your item without having to give it away.

Good luck!

Hi! Ebay is one of the best tools to discover
the fair market value of your pieces. It will help
you to identify them as well as compare.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
