And for every birthday he gave me a couple pieces.
Um, and at the time, you know, not, I guess, real excited about it until I got older and started appreciating it more.
But he basically gave me 44 pieces.
APPRAISER: 44.
GUEST: Um, I guess, in the collection.
APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.
You know, it's English, it's Staffordshire, it's early 19th century, so we can date it, uh, to about sort of 1820 to 1830.
Now that-that is significant in the fact that it is a child set.
And one would think that children's set don't usually survive that long.
It is rare to find a child set of this early date.
Uh, we find dinner services, because grown-ups take care of things, but children play with this.
So, um, I think that's what makes it special.
I think the other thing that makes it special is the decoration of the pieces.
Two boys playing with a kite and a hoop.
Uh, very charming-- a children's scene on a children's set.
Always love that, and I think also significant is in the center you have a gravestone.
And I think that is to signify how many children really died... GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: ...in the 19th century.
The other thing is it's a very sophisticated set.
This shape of the tureen is-is based on a Chinese export.
You have 44 pieces, uh, which is quite a large set.
Uh, and you have serving pieces which are important-- in-in a child set as well as in a grown up set.
Uh, in an adult dinner service, which would look very much the same.
Um, I would think, very easily at-at auction for a set like this, you're looking at $3,000 to $5,000.
