Look on eBay for similar sets to see what they go for. Be prepared to be disappointed.

Unless this is some fantastically collectible item, service for four is essentially worthless - it is a garage sale item which would probably sell for - at best 25% of current retail value.

You can attempt to sell it on craigslist because the cost of shipping is probably more than the value of the china.

However, you haven't stated what the manufacturer or pattern is so no one could possibly provide you with a value or what someone might pay for it.

FWIW, I have service for 12 including numerous serving pieces - Limoges from the 1920's and I couldn't even give it away :-).

Have to agree with the others you wont get all that much for it. But, you posted you received it so at least you are ahead of the game in not putting out any money for the set. From what I have seen at consignment shops and read in articles, China sets are a thing from the past. Young people are not going the China route. Everyday dishes are just fine with them. They don't want grandma's China to be passed down to them. They wouldn't use it, nor have the place to store it. I would suggest check the online china resale site(sorry the name escapes me at the moment), then price it less then what they have listed. Good luck with your sale.

It is Jyoto China I am not sure of the pattern. Green traditional maybe but it has no label on the bottom.

Pennydesign -- thank you for posting that link! I've been searching for my pattern on that site forever and had no luck, partly because I was searching under "Kyoto", not "Jyoto" (that darn makers mark was impossible to read!). Found my pattern, saw that all pieces are out of stock, and offered to sell mine to them! We'll see what it's worth...

Probably not much as they buy low sell high (as most do). But you may as well sell to them as a service for four won't be in demand to most people...but someone with one broken piece likely wants to replace it.

Good for you for finding it!

Yup, they're selling similar Jyoto pieces for $7-9/each but offered to buy mine for $1 - 3/each. Oh, well!

Well, it's better than a kick in the face as my mom says...so it's either that or ebay...

You could try a consignment store?

I don't mean to be snarky but are you actually going to attempt to sell a set that would probably get you $20 or so. Donate it - I donate to a place that serves battered women and tries to set them up with household goods since many of them have fled with absolutely nothing. But donating to any place where someone will have use of it makes more sense than attempting to sell it - Surely your time is more valuable than the number of hours you would spend in attempting to sell the item.

Imo, you don't sound snarky, Helen...I now donate lots of stuff simply because I don't have the energy. Now that Jewel has an idea of worth, she can make a decision.

But, also, to many people 20 dollars can go toward food or rent...Heck there was a time that I was happy to have an extra 5 dollars at the end of the week :)

Depends where you are in life.

Maybe some one could help me identify this pattern for this 12 place setting set

My ideas · More Info

Any info on the underside of the pieces- manufacturer etc?

Jyoto China is all it says

Check my answer above...It's, like, the first one on the page...

A photo of the bottom will help ID it...looks very much like a Noritake design.

Are my comments not showing up?

I give up...

Good luck, HU186....

I looked I see one similar but I am not sure. I just want to be sure.

The first photo in pennydesign's link is similar but not the exact design. The border and center circle are different; however, they're close enough to get an idea of retail price (but not the price that OP would get.) I'd try selling it on craigslist first and then I'd donate it. As mentioned previously, lifestyles today are such that demand is virtually non-existent for china and silver flatware.

Look a bit further down the page. It’s there.

I’m confused - it’s a match for the Jyoto pattern “Green Traditional.” You even named it in an earlier post.

If you look closely at the picture that was posted of the creamer? and three plates the plate above the creamer does not have the inner lattice circle as it appears to be a single line or perhaps just where the off white stops.
