Title: Georgian China 22kt. Gold Dogwood Value?
Post by: SadieK on February 21, 2015, 03:08:11 PM: Hi there,

I have a collection of Georgian China 22kt. Gold Dogwood, consisting of plates, dessert/pie plates, bowls, fruit bowls, teacups, saucers, etc. Essentially a whole set. Still in great shape. I'm just looking for the value of said objects as I am unsure and cannot find too much information online aside from the following:

http://www.replacements.com/webquote/GRGDOG.htm
Item#: 251700
Manufacturer Status: Discontinued
Pattern: Dogwood by Georgian China [GRGDOG]
Description: Gold Filigree, White Flowers, Smooth

They were my great grandmother's collection and they were passed down.

Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much in advance!

These are all part of Homer Laughlins Georgian China line !! From early 50`s !! My mothers china was also a dogwood pattern but different company,,!! She got hers as a premium with the purchase of a dining set !! How did your great grandmother get hers ?? Many furniture stores gave china sets as premiums with furniture purchase in the 50`s !!

Do have an idea of value on these items?

Thanks again! :D

Homer Laughlin made a lot of dinnerware and most patterns are easy to find so you have to look at the popularity of certain patterns !! I would look on ebay and see what the average selling price is for a similar pattern to get an accurate value !! Not the asking price,,just sales !! My opinion would be the plates at around $6. to $8. !! Serving pieces you need to check individually !! Of course you never know with the buying public,, one day things don`t sell well at all and the next day,, it sells like crazy !!
