I have a full 8 piece set of blue china made in Japan. If it like the rest of the items in this foreclosure sale I acquired, I know it is probably from the 50’s or 60’s. I do not believe there is any markings.. I am just looking for some ideas of where I might look for it’s value…I have no clue on this one. Thanks

www.replacement.com is where I have my best luck. Post a picture though because many people know what stuff is even with out the marks. But if no one knows off hand, then go to Replacements and in their search bar, just put in blue china, or porcelain or stoneware, whatever it’s made of. And if it’s dark blue, light blue, aqua instead of just blue. You can get lucky sometimes.

I also do that type of search as johngermaine suggested on Bonanza itself and Ebay. Also do Google images search with that same type of description—blue china with flower swirl or whatever and keep narrowing it down. Sometimes you might spot a piece of it somewhere that will have a little more info than you do and even if they don’t have a name maybe some info they have is more than you have and you can add those terms to another search. It takes time but sometimes that has been the only way I can find something! Good Luck!

Ditto on what most people are suggestin g as a resource. One word of caution – the prices often are not terribly realistic.

Go to replacements.com. Do a search on Ebay on some detail about the plate and see if it comes up.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
