Age and Value of My China Set?

A set of white china with blue flowers.I was given this set 25 years ago as a gift, but I do not know anything about it. The set is not complete, but does have some serving dishes and salt plates. There are 66 pieces or 68 if you include lids. A couple pieces are chipped or cracked and some are discolored. Any information about this would be helpful. Thank you!

1902-1958 or 59. The Stinthal line was used by the Crooksville Company (the maker) early in the company's history.

Replacements.com calls your pattern:
CRO101
by Crooksville

Item#: 17889 Pattern Code: CROCRO101
Description: Stinthal, Blue Florals
Pattern: CRO101 by Crooksville
Status: Discontinued.

Based on some old newspaper clippings, I believe these to be the 1914 blue spray forget me nots pattern (what they called it originally). It looks like it came originally as a 42 piece setting, which means you have the extras in serving pieces.

The 42 piece set sold in 1914 for 3.98!!

There are no examples of sold on eBay or any other site I can find, so you could see what Replacement.com offers you for them. That will be retail value and they will offer you 1/8 of retail.

Whole sets are nightmare to sell on line, so you will have to think of options --like selling by the piece or in a local venue like a flea market or consignment shop.

Damage to the pieces devalues them a lot so please factor that in when you are trying to price!!

Thanks for sharing these neat dishes!

This is Vintage Crooksville Stinthal China Set. Stinthal China was a brand name used by the Crooksville China Co. of Crooksville, Ohio. The company was in business from 1902 until 1959. Crooksvilles Stinthal line was made during its earlier years.

I think you can try to sell pieces separately on ebay. The price of a bread plate is about $ 4.99, dessert pie plate $ 9.99. You can see the approximate prices on ebay: www.ebay.com/.../i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675...

Where I live, china has gone down in value, as very few people want it. Yours is also incomplete and has some chips. If you can sell it, expect to get $25-$40 for the entire set.

Your dishes have a lovely pattern but china is usually very slow selling but since yours does not appear to be readily available it could possibly sell for a little more and maybe sell faster.

Sellers usually realize more profit by selling in singles or small groups and easier to pack and ship.
You may be able to sell the damaged pieces but be sure to describe them correctly and have very good pictures.

I do not believe Replacements will purchase these it looks like they are almost out of stock with all of this company's patterns and that usually means they will not be buying and I know they have cut way back on purchases since the beginning of COVID-19 but it never hurts to check.

Serving pieces usually sell faster and for more money so try to sell these separately.
Since it does not appear that any sold pieces in your pattern have been found I would suggest you look at the other patterns that match your pieces and price accordingly - maybe a few dollars higher.

Here is an example of a similar item listed for sale on eBay - 3 bread plates for 7.99 plus shipping. This set has been listed for over 17 months and has not sold.
