    @evelyb30 Thanks for the tips on getting the wax out. Yes, I will remove it before I put them on eBay. I’ve also had luck with just soaking them in warm tapwater for about 10 minutes. It starts at melting but the wax will usually come out in one piece when it’s ready, but I’ll try your method too.
    Thank you all for the comments. I really enjoy reading them.
    And yes, I’m a sucker for Waterford. It doesn’t sell like it used to but a nice glass Waterford clock for $3.23 is not something. I’m gonna pass up anytime. If all else fails, I’ll put it on my computer table and use it

    The sherbet next to the candlestick is Tiffin Cherokee Rose.

    The sherbet to the left of that one is Fostoria Chintz.

    The pink goblet is Fostoria Navarre.

    Thank You! @bercrystal. I appreciate the IDs!
    I have other pieces of all those patterns! I believe I put them in the cabinet in the garage. I put a slip of paper in one glass of each pattern so I'd know. I guess Sunday I'll start rounding stuff up and posting them.

    OK. This is weird. There was an estate sale going on close by. Today was the last day. I went and it was kind of expensive, so I only bought a couple things. This evening I went by there about 6 pm, and everything not sold was out in the yard with a "FREE" sign on it. so I picked out these 4 plates I liked. The total tagged price was $18. Today they would have been $9 to buy. But I was able to pick them up for free. I have never seen this happen.

    It's marked Lord Nelson by Johnson Brothers.
    I was considering buying it when the estate sale was going on. Glad I didn't!

    I like the Nippon Lusterware bowl too. I was thinking about buying that too.
    There were a bunch more Japanese 6" wall decor plates I left there. Nothing TOO fancy but nice. Mostly just a flower spray or two along the edge, mostly pastel colors and nothing in the center. I like my plates balanced. LOL

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like the sort-of rectangular plate with flowers in the middle. Who made that one? It also looks a bit like a Johnson Brothers item.

    It's hard to read. But it looks like MYOTT & Sons made in England

    Thank you!

    I just looked through the Replacements listings for Myott Staffordshire.

    Found this one that looks like the same pattern, but totally different color palette. They call it Bonnie Dundee. Not sure whether they make up the pattern names, or if that was given by the manufacturer.

    And it was fun to look at all 11 pages of Myott on the site!

    Edit: this one came up through a Google search, although I didn't find it when scrolling through the 11 pages on the site:

    I like it, too. I think it's the winner of the lot.
