Coffee/T cups/ saucers (Nine Mile Burn EH26)
There’s quite a lot of small white saucers, a few white T cups, lots of small blue espresso cups and green rimmed saucers. If not useful as intended, they could do for a ceramics project? A collage? A tiling idea? All clean. I could maybe deliver within reason

Pretty but damaged (Nine Mile Burn EH26)
Does anyone want to exhibit pretty items with the damage turned to the back? Craftsmanship too good to bin. Cups can hold keys, rings.. jugs can be little vases? .. their ability to hold liquids is still good as the damage is to the spout. Or... are you really gifted and can mend fine porcelain? There white items are German, Thomas Ivory. The floral, gilt cups are Dresden ceramics and the floral jug is English, Hammersmith & co. The saucer with one chip to the rim is Spanish.
