Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for vintage china), Etsy (vintage home decor), and Poshmark (Home category).
Selling Tips
Market these as 'Alice in Wonderland' themed or 'Bridge Party Decor' to attract specific niche buyers. Photograph them against a dark background to make the ivory and gold pop. Ship with plenty of bubble wrap as porcelain is fragile.
