Hope people here find some sales for their figurines.
As for china dishes, it might be useful to at least consider keeping a large serving platter or set of 2 or 4 teacups, their saucers and teapot. This is what I would keep if...I ever had china set. Which I don't and I never will. For the latter tea set, sometimes it is lovely (to me) to serve an elegant dessert with coffee/tea. Similar in my mind, to serving wine for guests or with your loved one.
I guess I would appreciate a teacup set because my partner makes lovely desserts at home....we both appreciate gourmet tarte/cake on special occasions. It brings back for us, when his mother baked her lovely multi-tiered tortes and incredible cookies in true pastry chef German style. If you have a baker /cook like that in the family, food like that deserves presentation in that manner. As time passes by, that type of gift/skill in a family becomes precious.
My partner has a handmade complete pottery handmade dish set (from Denmark) in rustic style. it does not fit your dainty china designs, but it was still expensive. I have this feeling his children will appreciate it. He also has a son who is a serious chef for restaurant in Toronto that he runs.
