    I've been emptying crates of pottery at my lock-up ready for selling at York.

    I've not sold ceramics or glass in bulk before.

    Every piece I thought was collectable or valuable, I've put away.

    This year it has to go.

    I knew Shelley was good, but I did not realise this set had illustrations from Mabel Lucie Attwell, a British illustrator and comics artist.

    Research shows they fetch good money, but there are many similar out there.

    These won't be going to York.

    That is so adorable! Maybe a keepsake (not a toy) for a grandchild?

    I have 10 grandchildren aged from 4 to 24 I don't think It's suitable for them.

    I have two great-grandsons aged 1 to 3, I'm assured they are to become Rugby League internationals :D
    Maybe save it for the next female G or GG :rolleyes:
