Maybe if I could read Chinese might be a head.

Good luck money, I just went through my own adventure selling china. 30 Piece set, new in box (Sold on ebay for $160, which I was happy with). Wasnt as pretty as yours, and for some reason I think yours could be worth a good bit.

That would be nice. Picked it up for $5 so no matter what I think I am a head.  ;D

Only 13 pcs. though. 5 cups and saucers, tea pot, sugar bowl, and creamer.

Very pretty set. As for what the markings on the back say....do you have a chinese market or restaurant in your area that you frequent? I have taken items to our local chinese buffet for interpretation. They are always glad to help. :)

Never thought of that. Out here in the country forget about the things in the city. LOL :D

Might just hit them up.

Yes I do that a lot take them and ask them if they would buy it for how much. Of course they would give you the lowest bid and multiply it by 25 and minus the amount you paid it for if you gained it's worth it. ;D I always do that when it comes to China.
