Prices of Mulberry China : Pt 3

"Another thing. The plates in your price ranges. The larger the plate obviously the more expensive it's going to be. But a plate like this would, this is the Washington base pattern, would be anywhere from $75 to $125 dollars depending on the condition. You're going to find some crazing in these plates to a certain degree. And that's not unusual because they are over, you know, a hundred and plus years old. So that's, and the other thing you'll see too is the scratch marks from people using them with table wear. You can see the knife marks in some of these and that does affect but it's minor compared to the chips, cracks and the discoloration. This one's fairly clean. It has some cracks and some discoloration but not bad. Over all this plate I would say, rate this plate on 9 out of 10. And so this plate would cost you at least $75, closer to $100 for it. So that's one thing. And when you go down in size to the seven, eight, seven and eight inch plates you're going to pay anywhere from $50 to $80 dollars a plate depending on the condition. That's with good condition. The sugar bowls, these sugar bowls can range, in good condition, all whole without any cracks or lines or anything missing on them like this one, ca cost you upwards of $75 to $125 per sugar bowl. So that's one thing to think about. The handle less cups and saucers? These can range starting at about $50 anywhere upwards to $100 and $100 and plus depending on the pattern that you're collecting. If it's more available and easier to find you might find that their a little less expensive but be prepared to pay for a handle less cup and saucers in fairly good condition at least $50 to $75 dollars."
