Before leaving for a job in the public safety sector, I spent several years working in China & Bridal Registry at a local department store. Now, I love to scour thrift stores, flea markets, and estate/ rummage/yard sales. In my search to find items for my own use, I saw many brand names and patterns that I recognized. I was inspired to buy those stray odds and ends, “flipping” them here to help others also seeking their patterns. I hope I can help you find what you need to fill in your set!
Most of my experience with china, crystal, and silver was from 1984-1997. I still love them, and I’m constantly researching and learning, but I’m not perfect. I try to be as accurate as I can be in my descriptions, but mistakes are always possible. If you have any questions, problems or concerns, please reach out to me.
My home is smoke-free, but I do not know the provenance of most of these items. However, I am fairly sensitive to smoke myself; I think I would notice if there’s any residue. Also, whenever possible, I wash the things I buy before selling. This is partly because a lot of the things are filthy when I get them (!) and partly to make sure there’s no damage I didn’t notice when I bought them—it does happen! Obviously, if it has original tags/labels, that’s not possible.
See my other listings for more like this, and follow me to be notified when new pieces are added.
Thanks for looking, and supporting me in my quest for early retirement!
