While it’s a picture of the whole set, evaluating just the coffee pot or sugar bowl would suffice in allowing me to understand their general value. It may b a children’s set as the cups are demitasse sized.
This coffee service came to me through my mother. It was previously my grandmother’s.
Hi AJ,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Because the sum of a set is sometimes more than the sum of individual parts - and there's no additional cost to value this as a set instead of just one piece at a time - I'll give you a value for the set. If you want to know what individual pieces are worth, just let me know and I'll break it down for you.
