Thanks for confirming, Phillip. Most porcelain services depreciate significantly in value from retail, despite good condition. It is also not one of Herend's more popular patterns, which can hold their value more
Thanks for the quick and professional turnaround. We'll keep the set.
Yes, it is for 6.
