Collectable dinnerware. Pattern is China garden prestige. Acquired through grocery shopping purchases (much like the Jadeite incentives) nearly 40 years ago. The dishes have seen minimal use as they were used for formal dinners only. They have always been hand washed so they have not not lost their original lustre or shine. These cannot be used in the microwave. The silver metal trim will spark! Unfortunately, many pieces from the original 12 piece setting were broken when an over-loaded box fell apart. This lot includes eleven 10-1/2" dinner plates, seven 7-1/8 bread and butter plates and eight cups. Selling the lot for $40. Will also consider selling individual pieces for slightly less than advertised prices found elsewhere.
