Good morning, Donna,
I am wondering what is the worth of these dishes and if you are interested or know someone who would be. Doing thorough cleaning and these have been stored over 20 years.
Thank you!
Carol
Dear Carol,
Mass-produced large dish sets from the 1930s and 1940s seem to have made it through time, most only being used during holiday occasions and the rest of the time being stored in china cabinets.
There are many different companies and patterns. 24kt gold designs are not uncommon and this doesn’t seem to affect values. So many were made that the value usually is in serving pieces. All need to be in perfect condition with no chips, discoloration, cracks etc.
In today’s use anything that’s not microwave safe is not welcomed often. Using china cabinets seems to be a thing of the past as well.
With all this, Carol, I would say the value of a set like this would be in the $50 range. But finding a market could be tough. Most people, like yourself, are always cleaning out!
I hope you find a new home for them.
Thanks for sharing.
