Does anyone else collect china? If so, which ones do you collect?
I have a partial
Noritake #5807 set. I used to have the full set of four I inherited from my mother who got them from her Grandmother (along with various bone china pieces from Ansley, Royal Grafton, and Royal Windsor), but unfortunately, I think my father got rid of one of the boxes without realizing what it was after my mom died. Now I am left with three #5807 tea cups, four saucers, four salad plates, and four dessert plates, along with one Ansley bone tea cup, one Royal Windsor bone tea cup, and one Royal Grafton bone teacup. I am planning on replacing my #5807s since the pieces are so readily available online eventually when I am less poor, and at least find the matching saucers for the bone teacups.
Today though, I was at a consignment shop and found a Noritake sugar bowl, which I picked up since it was only $1 and I really liked the pattern. This one appears to be older than the #5807s since it is stamped "M" in the wreath, is hand painted, and has no pattern name or number. I am going to have to do more research to find out which pattern this is.
Edit to add: research shows it's likely from '21 to about '40 due to the bottom mark.
