Wedding China from Napoleans wedding to Josephine.
14 pieces includes 3 cups & Sauces, 1 teapot, 1 Coffe pot
and 4 salad plates. We would like to sell, but we don't know
who would be interested in these items.  Please advise.

And would this be the Sevres mark?  And well provenanced?  May I suggest auction sites such as Sothebys,  or Skinner or equal?  access their sites and follow instruction for appraisals.  My understanding, too, is that there were other fine  porcelain sites that presented the couple with dinnerware.  A cursory search did turn up a set of Sevres plates with the Napoleon backstamp that I think would have come after the wedding itself - but that same  era - 6 dinner plates for $3,500.  KB
