A friend of our mother left her with a large set of (Corliss #5765) how do go about determining its value?

China like this is really a 'thing of the past' as very few of the younger generation want any type of 'dishes' that are not oven and microwave proof. Also, most are not even into matching sets.
This leaves the people who either bought this type of china in their youth or inherited it from their parents and now just want to downsize and get whatever they can as quickly as possible.
This usually only leaves a buyer who has some pieces and maybe wish to replace broken pieces or maybe add a bowl or ??
It is rare to see a set sell and even then we generally have no way to tell how long the set was listed before it sold - maybe months/years.
Since we have no idea as to the type of pieces are in the set we can only supply sites that have pieces listed or sold for you to try to determine what the value could be for what pieces are in the set.
Asking prices only reflect what a buyer would like to receive for their items and only a sold, identical item reflects value as it shows what someone was willing to pay.
Pieces listed for sale on eBay - asking prices - you can place a watch on any item to see if it sells.

Here is the link to items that have sold over the past several months (not very many): These pieces/prices would represent current value for the same item.
Here is a site that has a lot of pieces with information.
The price of china has declined so much in the past years and many people are looking to sell off the china because they are downsizing. it sounds like you are just looking for the value of the set so you know about how much it is worth. On replacement.com they do have this china they are selling off in pieces which are replacement pieces. The price on this site is a bit higher than other places and it can give you a good idea about how much one plate is worth.
This delicate looking midcentury china Noritake Corliss can be located on this site where they sell by the piece - www.replacements.com/
You can go to thei website and search the pictures. I found my mother's china on there.
Hers is not extremely valuable, but you can buy more of your pattern and add to your set pieces when you need to.
