please notice that i have 2 postings of the same items. i have recently inherited several of my step fathers things since his passing 2 years ago. age 70. he retired from 20 years of service in the marines. therefore i was told that the first tea set was purchased in china while he was stationed there. i have been searching for a week now with no luck. the blue and white set i have found out through replacements ltd. that it is indeed discontinued. what i would like to know is just how large was the set originally. as i have 50 some pieces in my posession now. would it be worth the investment to replace any missing pieces if there is any, or the value as is. what i have is in excellent condition.maybe just needing a little cleaning. any info or advice with the both of them is greatly appreciated. and thank you in advance just incase.
