I've got a lot of ornaments - going back to my great grandmother. Many of them are in boxes gathering cobwebs in the garage. Unfortunately they've become clutter to me and part of me would have fun breaking them all, but when I watch Antiques Roadshow - I think I should hold onto them. It's a toss up between sentimentality or practicality.

I can imagine after I die - my son grabbing all these sealed boxes and throwing them in a skip bin. I might have to err on the side of practicality and sell them.

mantra put them up on here I am sure monk will tell you if they are worthy of hanging on to....is there is no sentiment in them they may well be someone elses treasure..

Look, I am no expert but pop up a photo of a couple of pieces—take a photo of any chip or crack, these do not detract that much from really old stuff—I have more than one chipped/cracked piece. Take a photo of any marking on the back too—I can’t tell who made what just by looking at a photo of an item.

Aesthetic Movement stuff is in demand by yuppies, art nouveau/deco have their fans. Early Worcester/Derby/Chelsea/Bow/Meissen is $$$.

They're most commonly used as feminine pleasure devices, dear.

So I'm informed, anyway.

I might get around to that Monk. I know I've got stuff that other people want. Whenever I book a household goods pickup with the Council - by the time the truck arrives all my junk is gone.

All won't be lost though. I have a daughter who will try to stop my son from throwing everything out.

Most young people today don’t have much interest in antiques so keeping a lot of stuff doesn’t make sense. I will keep my collection because I love it but doubt whoever inherits my estate will bother, I will advise them if you don’t want any of this stuff get an antiques expert to go through it and price it then approach a dealer.

Will also advise hang onto it as long as possible as it should all pretty much increase in value for time.

I don’t have anything from my grandmother except a photo or two of her.

Oma gave Mum her brooch when we left Holland for Australia. A few years ago Mum gave the brooch to my sister. Much emotion expressed but, as I expected, the brooch has not been seen again. Funny thing is, as the oldest I knew Oma the best and have no keepsake of her.

aint it always the way...the greedy not the needy

I had a friend yonks ago who came from a large family my friend was maybe a little backward but she was a very caring soul and loved her mum to bits she went to see her every week and was in fact with her when she collapsed in the street and because she didnt know any better when the ambos asked if she wanted her mum revived she said yes.....and so the poor lady lay in a hospital bed for a week never to regain consciousness all the brothers and sisters spent hours by the bed...of course..7 of them.... when it came time to clean the ladies town house out so it could go on the market.. down they all came and picked it dry my friend dearly wanted her mums dressing table one of those with little draws on top......and very fancy handles...anyway the brother who was older claimed he had first rights and he took it..... but later on my friend found it was stored in his garage with tins of paint on it..and the draws full of nails....

I was so sad for her....it didnt make any sense at all...

maybe even older monk mantras great grandmothers

she may well be in for a surprise..

Early Worcester is 1750–1775 or so, codsy. Named the Dr Wall period as Dr Wall was the person who got the company up and running in 1751. Early Bow and Chelsea started a few years before Worcester—but their porcelain, lacking the soapstone Worcester used, could not hold boiling water so they made lots of figurines and display or “cabinet” pieces.

I reckon “great grandmother” is late 1900s—Aesthetic Movement, 1860–1890—or a bit earlier, Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts Movement about which I know nothing much. The came Art Deco after WWII. Depends when the ancestors bought their stuff.

I dont know about what period anything comes from , never bothered to find out but in an old rural farming area a lot of stuff just goes into the 2nd hand shop and noone has much idea as to what it is worth..I havent been foraging for a while but one time I bought an old whitish jug with a matching ceramic or pottery washing dish ...matching set...there was a slight crack acorss the bottom but appeared to be superficial, it didnt leak...I think that would have been a valuable peice.. would have been because it went missing in time and I have no clue what happened to it..I have moved house once or twice.. things get lost.

Similiar to this but looked older
