[QUOTE="ckaihar, post: 4523675, member: 77722"]Hi everyone, I’m new here and found myself here through an unfortunate circumstance.. Since my grandparents have both passed my family has started to clean out their house to get it ready to sell and they let all of the grandkids take what we wanted. So, my wife and I chose a few things and shipped them back from CA to SC with hopes and plans of passing them down to our kids once they get older. Unfortunately, when the box that we carefully packed arrived at our house it looked like it had been run over by a truck.. So, now I find myself with the impossible task of trying to prove the value of the items in order to make an insurance claim with the shipping company. My issue is that I don’t know anything about the items and I have to prove the value with receipts or sold ebay listings. I’ve figured out that some of the pieces are Imari and Yunomi but I’m lost on everything else. Please foregive me as I don't know how to describe many of the items – do I call them China, are they porcelain, etc. Any help would be much appreciated and if you can point me to anything that proves the value of these I would really appreciate it! I’ve listed out the items below and I’ll try to figure out how to post photos of all of the pieces as well. We went and glued everything that we could together in an attempt to preserve the pieces for sentimental value. Thank you! 1. 2 pieces from a set of 5 bowls roughly 5” in diameter 2. 1 bowl/dish roughly 5” from a set of 3 in varying sizes 3. 1 cup from a set of 2 Yunomi 4. 2 tea cups from a set of 5 cups and teapot 5. Teapot from above set 6. 1 serving dish roughly 8.5” in diameter 7. 1 serving dish roughly 9 x 8.75” 8. 1 Imari dish roughly 10” in diameter 9. 1 fish shaped dish roughly 10” in diameter 10. 1 Imari dish roughly 15.5” in diameter.[/QUOTE]
