    Ended up paying £84 for professional packers .

    Will it be worth it?

    Photos above. Nippon Noritake service. Not really my cup of tea (no pun intended) but should sell. Not sure whether to split it.

    A beautiful set, although not my cup of tea either. I've found Noritake does sell quite well.

    Lovely, older set with beautiful hand-painting. I think I am in my blue phase--love blues with yellows/golds.

    Exactly what I’m thinking. I wrote to the packers thanking them for their diligence. If only the seller of this Zsolnay Pecs jug which also arrived today had used a fraction of that packing 8D418575-E94C-4716-B5DA-2E9470C3D8D9.jpeg
