Ha! We did this 3 times with our Mikasa setting.

I finally gave them to a relative who resells stuff at auction places and said what ever you get, it's yours.
Instead I now have nice plain white plates for holiday dinners.

Donate to goodwill. Wouldn’t your relatives appreciate these being used and loved by needy family, rather than stuffed in a box in the basement??

Poor people dont want china either. They want low breakage dishwasher microwave safe plates.

China is just fine in the dishwasher. I don’t buy that excuse.

I use them. I put them in the dishwasher and they're fine. Same with the inherited silverware.

get some goggles, give the kids the box and tell them to have fun smashing them. Y'all will remember that much more than using them.

We use ours whenever we have more than the 4 in our immediate family over for dinner. Maybe 6-8 times a year.

If anyone has a large teapot in Royal Doulton “Princeton” I would love to help you out by rehoming it!!

I could have yielded around $20-$30 a piece on eBay for my grandparents china. But that’s the thing: there was an over saturation of it for sale on eBay. It also wasn’t worth my time and effort to meticulously wrap and ship this delicate stuff, for what, $10 a piece, and only if someone who REALLY wanted it found it among the hordes of listings? I tried to sell it to some antiques shops but there was no interest. Finally I just decided to keep a sugar bowl and creamer and donated the rest. I don’t have any regrets

When we broke too many of our casual dishes I just pulled the China out and have used it since. I don’t care about plates so much to get upset over it.

I use my china and my Waterford every day, but I don't have little kids. If I had kids, I'd have a totally different set up.

Facebook marketplace. I'm on a facebook group "beautiful table settings" and they go berserk for china.

However, you're likely to not get much. At least someone will enjoy them though. If you send them to goodwill, a lot will be broken there.

LOL

Smash them up and make a mosaic or other art?

Use them as normal dishes, throwing them in the dishwasher?

We use ours on Sundays. They add a nice touch to the meal.
