Inge Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 A few months back I was on amazon.ca and found a 40pc set of dishes for around $15.00CAD. They came from China and it only took 3 months but well worth the wait. I was impressed with the quality of the painting on the dishes. I sent a picture of the dishes to my sister in law. Guess what I got for my birthday? Two more sets of dishes, so now I have 120 dishes to fill my cupboards. I checked on amazon.com tonight and they are on there for $16.09usd. They are $19.00CAD on amazon.ca. I did notice, however, that when you went a few pages further the price almost doubled from another supplier. This is a great deal when you look at some of the prices for dishes. Here's a picture: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 No idea how to get them direct from China. I thought this was a good price and easy to go thru amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I'll order a set for the Beacon Hill. The doctor and his wife deserve gold-trimmed dinnerware. I think the good doctor bought the set for his wife while he was in France doing a round of training in one of the excellent hospitals there. It appears to me that the decoration is likely decals rather than painting as the design is so uniform. Nevertheless, an elegant set. Thanks for sharing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenrodfarm Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I got a set on eBay, direct from China for my fairy house, I liked the flowers, seemed what a fairy would like, not elegant but cute! It was $2.99 Plus $1.89 shipping. I was suprised at the quality of the dishes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L Swearengin Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I purchased tha the "Gatsby" set from HBS. It will go back into the New Orleans when we move. (After repairs are done, he dropped it.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thimble Hall Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I too was surprised at the quality of the dishes I got. not perfect but very acceptable. I am quite surprised at some of the porcelain stuff out of China it is worth a look at many of the mini stuff. see below not dishes but as an example. I bought a Chinese one it cost me $ 3.15, the other one is Reutter. $24 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have obviously been gone for too long (my profile says I last signed in in 2016?!) and now looking at everyone's pictures I have mini fever all over again! Off to look at ebay now! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
