[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a common quandary because nobody wants this stuff anymore.

Her is a Washington Post article from 2019 with some ideas about what to do with it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/home/5-clever-things-to-do-with-grannys-old-china/2019/10/01/bfd8975e-dbeb-11e9-a688-303693fb4b0b_story.html

[b]Personally I would divorce myself from the idea that it has much monetary value and instead post it on Facebook marketplace for a low price[/b] or, better yet, post it on your local “Buy Nothing” group in Facebook to give away free.

Good luck. [/quote]

NP here.
My brother did that with my mom's china and crystal.   Some guy that owned a thrift store came buy and bought all of it for a very low price (I want to say one hundred dollars!.)   This was for Wedgwood china and Waterford crystal--service for 12 plus serving pieces, candle sticks, decorative bowls, etc.   I get that it's hard to let go of the idea that all of that was "worth" so much more--but the reality was that my brother needed it out of my parents' house quickly (getting ready to sell) and it's just not worth it to most people today.[/quote]
