Victoria Austria serving china


























The antique serving platter and serving dish with lid arrived safely today!! And Sarah in Pennsylvania received her plates too. We traded through the mail (so to speak) since we are hundreds of miles apart. She found us through a trade listing on ebay we made.

These are photos we just took of the china up for trade. As you can see it is lovely!!! Sarah received her china via DHL this afternoon. And this afternoon I received the china she sent via UPS. The ebay listing I made was for local pick up only and Sarah still replied and insisted on paying to have the plates shipped to her. It worked out well. We each had the items professionally packaged and had the items in a box inside a box. LOL. She sent hers items in two seperate boxes (so four boxes total for the items she mailed). I also listed the plates and martini set on Craigslist in Des Moines. I never received any interest at all. Ebay is working well. I've always had great luck with people I deal with on ebay! Sarah was another good one!!!

I took these photos outside in what sun was left this afternoon. The china is gorgeous beyond belief for how old they are (at least 60 or more years?). The details are astonishing! More photos and info to come within a few days. In the meantime, please see the previous post for more details and photos.
