After all, there is nothing more annoying than returning to a shop to replace a broken dinner plate from your favourite service, only to be told, "I'm sorry but that line has been withdrawn". Perhaps it wasn't a dinner plate. Maybe the dishwasher, (usually the husband not the machine), smashed a cup or a dish. Maybe the kids knocked over Grandma's precious china teapot. Or perhaps the family has grown and you wish to make your set up from 4 to 6 or even to 12.
Alternatively the children may have grown up and moved away and your dinner or tea set is now too large and taking up space. Maybe you have accumulated a few odds and ends that you never use. Perhaps you have inherited a service or part service, that you dislike or don't need. Many people give their surplus china to others, or worse still, throw it away, not realising that someone else maybe looking for those pieces. Why not give us a call, you maybe pleasantly surprised.
