I ended up with Grandma's china. I never used it as it can't go in the dishwasher. I kept it in a big hutch but got rid of the hutch and it was boxed up for years. I offered it to all the cousins, no takers. My girls didn't want it. I took the boxes to Salvation Army and haven't regretted it one bit because I never remember my Grandmother using it. She was the type that saved the good stuff and didn't use it. I found many unworn pretty nightgowns, new linens, and towels never used as they were being saved. It made me sad. Another thought: If she had made memories of using the china I may have wanted to use it too and then my girls would have wanted it.
