Dishes, Dishes, Dishes

A while back, we bought a house to rehab and there were all kinds of "treasures" left in it.  One of those treasures was a 104 piece set of dishes.  They are ARISTOCRAT by Salem China Co.  They have 23 karat gold around them and in the decoration.  They have a beautiful flower print in them and they are maroon colored.  If it weren't for the fact that I hate red and don't care for yellow gold, we'd keep them.  I couldn't believe how many were there!  There are:

15 dinner plates

15 salad plates

15 bread and butter plates

17 saucers

14 fruit/dessert bowls

14 teacups

2 large platters

2 small platters

3 soup bowls

2  cranberry bowls

1 casserole dish w/ lid

1 relish dish

1 creamer dish

1 sugar bowl with lid

and one extra cup that matches the handles of the cream and sugar dishes, which have handles a little different from the other teacups.

We hope to sell them and get a decent price for them but we've been told dishes are selling to well right now, so we'll see :)

  1. What are you asking for the dishes? Will you sell them separately?

  4. Gina ~ We sold this set quite a while ago. It was in pretty good condition but after talking to a few consignment shops who said we wouldn't get more than $50-$75 out of it, we sold it through Craigslist for $200.
