English Tea Party... A house sale we visited had a teacup in an Oriental motif marked $225.00 for what the household sale company thought was a piece of Chinese porcelain. We knew it to be a piece of English porcelain produced in the 18th century in an Oriental design. We resold it for $1,500. The company running the sale had no idea what they were looking at, apparently thinking that any piece of porcelain with an Oriental motif must be made in the Far East.
