Once they're discontinued, it's supply and demand. Some patterns are
very hard to find. Either there weren't many sets sold to begin with,
or those who have them are not letting them go.

I really like that as well. My Lenox is cream with platinum
bands, very simple.

There used to be some competition in the "replacement china
and silver" companies. "Replacements.com" has sucked up all
the others and can charge just about anything they want.
But you should see what they offer to *pay* for used stuff.
Pennies....

When I set the table for guests I usually use both and alternate place
settings. It looks very pretty that way.

Thank you so much. :) I really do love it. I have been watching ebay a
good bit. (DH is too, he figures he has an easy Christmas/birthday idea
now for years to come. lol) It's tricky to find mine sometimes. There are
two Bancroft patterns. Mine is unnumbered. But the numbered one is thick
on the ground. It turns up all over the place. Mine requires a little
hunting sometimes. I look at the discounted stuff at replacements. If they
really are "slight imperfections" like the dessert bowls my DMIL ordered
for me, well that's just fine with me. I couldn't find anything wrong with
the bowls but she said that they were the slightly discounted ones.
She wanted me to really understand the dishes could be replaced (or added
to) fairly easily. She said that way I would for sure use them and not
save them. ;) Too, she understands the risks in my kitchen.......teenaged
dish washing staff...ceramic tile floor....... lol She's fond of
saying "it's only stuff......nice stuff, but still only stuff." ;)

She's so right about using it.It's not much good sitting in the closet.
My mom always said the same thing. Her expression was, "When I die, I
don't want people packing up my belongings with the price tags still
on. A chipped dish is a dish that was well used and well loved."
