<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 350959, member: 308"]Very nice! My temptation would be to try them as a set first just in case. It would be easier to ship one package rather than four if nothing else. On the other hand, I've actually had some luck selling individual plates of English china and especially chintz. For me they sell to US bidders. I've never sent one back to England.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm wondering if these plates were meant for display rather than use. I can see them in little plate holders up on the wall. If I remember right (and sometimes I don't!) little series of plates were popular in the 1990's as decorator items. There was kind of a revival of English teacups, teapots, saucers, little plates, etc. in gift shops here in the US. Outrageously overpriced as I remember. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I would think they would make nice snack side plates as you suggest. Sorry if I'm rambling and a bit more disjointed than usual. There were nasty thunderstorms here all last night and I had a Yorkshire Terrier who insisted on standing on my head as I was trying to sleep. I would just think I'd gotten him settled but five minutes later he would awaken me again. Last night I would have shipped that particular item back to England in a heartbeat!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":yawn:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
