Authenticity Indicators
Pattern match is exact for Mikasa Park Lane Gold. Confidence is High. These were often sold with foil stickers rather than permanent etched marks, which have likely been washed off.
Flaws to Note
Minor thinning of the gold gilt on the rim (common with washing); potential for 'flea bites' on the sharp edges of the cut glass if not handled carefully.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for replacement china. Facebook Marketplace is good if selling as a larger set to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Discontinued', 'Replacement', 'Holyday Table', and 'MCM Style'. Photograph against a dark background to make the gold trim and glass cuts pop. Double-box for shipping to ensure the glass survives transit.
