Hi

I have been collecting china tea sets over the past few years but I am now looking to sell or donate a few of them as I no longer have the space for them all, my problem being is that I'm not actually sure if they are worth much.

I wondered if you had any advice regarding selling china tea sets?

Many Thanks & Kind Regards
Nicola

Hi John, thanks for your help.

I'll put a picture of them up one by one with some details of manufacturer etc.

Manufacturer - Royal Albert

1x tea cup (slight chip) + 1x saucer/side plate

Manufacturer - Diamond China

11x tea cups
11x saucers
11x side plates
1x large plate
1x milk jug

Manufacturer - Royal Vale

6x tea cups
6x saucers
1x large plate
1x milk jug

Manufacturer - Royal Albert "Queen's Messenger"

3x tea cups
3x saucers
3x side plates
1x large plate
1x milk jug
1x sugar bowl

Manufacturer - Duchess "Byron"

3x tea cups
3x saucers
3x side plates
1x sugar bowl
1x milk jug

Manufacturer - Royal Ascot

6x tea cups
6x saucers
6x side plates

Manufacturer - Ainsley "Golden Grace"

4x tea cups
4x saucers
4x side plates
1x large plate
1x sugar bowl
1x milk jug

Manufacturer - Trisa

7x tea cups
7x saucers
1x milk jug
1x sugar bowl

Manufacturer - Elizabethan "Cottage Rose"

6x tea cups
6x saucers
6x side plates

If the china tea cup/saucer/tea plate is chipped or cracked it is worth nothing.

no great value in what I see in your pictures.

Plain looking, lack of colour or just a gold band commercialy £1 an item

Trio .......tea cup/saucer/tea plate £5 to £10 in antiqure fairs.

11 is not a set.

4, 6, or 8 is a set

If no tea pot ........the price will reduce the set price by half


Royal Albert "Queen's Messenger" on china search type internet sites will sell on average £10 an item.

but in charity shops £1 to £3 each

Duchess "Byron" is discontinued... but again some one who has broken a cup will pay £10

good luck

John
