My primary plates are Corelle, but I think I'm down to 6 or 7 of them.
I have a set of fine china that hasn't been touched since 2000. I don't have people over anymore and I don't intend to. I'm not into hosting things anymore and doubt I ever will again.
I just inherited two incomplete sets of fine china that's probably 60-80 years old. I intend to give one set to a relative that hosts a lot of big family gatherings. I can't decide if I should give her the second set or keep it.
Is there any reason to keep fine china? Is it worth anything or is it simply an old tradition?
For anyone interested, these are the names of what I inherited:
Royal Rose fine china, made in Japan
English Garden 1221 fine china, made in Japan
Currier & Ives "The Old Grist Mill", by Royal, Made in the USA (not sure if this is fine china) - I'll likely keep this one
