  2. It’s so pretty. I love the wedgewood personally, I’ve always been drawn to it. It’s a shame people aren’t as interested as they once were in fine pottery and dishes.

    • I think the problem is the no one has rooms for all that stuff anymore. Even with a normal size house, you run out of space pretty fast.

      • It is true! I have a friend that has 4 complete sets of 12 dishes and she uses them, all the time. I could use a set but I have 4 and because I don’t have a lot of company now, I really don’t need much more, lol.

        • I had a set for 12 and it took up the better part of a dining room. When I finally realized I didn’t need it, hardly ever used it and gave it away, it was a HUGE relief!

          • We don’t have major get togethers, I used to, but now my daughter hosts all the major events since she has 4 kids and has the space so I’m with you, I don’t need a lot of stuff! lol

  5. I’ve just brought (and will continue to do so) a CARLOAD full of my treasures to a local brocante. My heart is just breaking once again for thinking that these treasures might never find a lover of beautiful things and might get ‘Cast before swines’ (to ppl who don’t appreciate it)….. you’ve got some pretty astonishing pieces there!

    • The Spode was sold, but the rest I still have. I’m trying to find homes for it where it will be safe and remain undamaged. This really old pottery is a legacy. If you break it, it never comes back. I wish I had a home for most of it.
