Update re: Two thousand dollars' worth of china Previously I posted about my mother's china dinner service and how it had one piece missing, a piece I've learned to call the gravy boat underplate. Well, I found one. And it was $20 plus shipping, which I don't consider unreasonable.→[More:] I got so excited to see it that I clicked through the buying process without even reading the whole description or checking out the seller's history, which I normally would never do, but it turned out that the item appears to be in mint condition and the seller has a 100% rating. Now if it will only ship to me in one piece. I can hardly wait to give it to my mother this Mother's Day!
