China Tea Sets

Who has these and what do you do with them?
My mother inherited several from her mother and MIL was the same.
DH and I have now lost all our grandparents and all four parents.
I have been clearing out my mother's house and I now have four china tea sets. Lovely as they are I am never going to drink from a cup and saucer and they are just gong to end up cluttering my cupboards.
Can't be bothered with selling them.
I could do afternoon tea for the whole street Grin

I use them to do afternoon tea for friends and family. Some vintage tea shops would use them or give them to the charity shops, people use them for crafts.

when places open up again, you could donate them to somewhere like age UK if you have one local to you, or your local church. I donated a set to my local age UK, that runs a tea/lunch club every week for elderly people and so the set gets used each week. Your local church may run a coffee morning after the service and so will use cups etc.

The church idea is lovely, mum would have liked that.
