question from: jknifong23@msn.com

Question:
I sent a request last weekend and cannot find the answer on your website. My mother has a coplete 12 place setting of Merrileaf Red Wing dinnerware. Plus (I think) every accessory made. It is all in very good condition and only a few pices have chips (2 or 3 at the most). The mark on the bottom of one of the plates says "True China, Red Wing-USA, Hand Painted 230". I just need an approximate value. She might want to sell and she might not. Thank you.

Capistrano – what is rare?

Question:
I have been given a service for 8 of Capistrano, including some serving pieces. Can you tell me what specific pieces are considered "rare"? I am considering keeping the dishes and using them. Is there any special "care" involved? Do I need to wash them by hand? Do I have to be careful not to use knives on the surface? They are in very good condition. Thanks! Barbara
