This kind of sorting triggers me. I love matching things. When my aunt died, she had sort of hoarder house (not quite but a bit towards it). One thing I found were tens of thousands of buttons. I thought that I might sort them a bit. Ended up sorting all the buttons by color, size, type, tying together and keeping in boxes by color. My husband thought I'm nuts (he must be right). When I start sorting things I just can't stop, one of my favorite things to do. Could've sorted that china in no time.
I can understand how a guy who's into cars and vintage (car and train) toys would get frustrated and bored with teacups and china. :) My mom would've been in 7th heaven with all this, and a lot of it was bringing back happy memories for me.
I know dishes aren’t your jam, but some teacups and saucers are very valuable. Three piece sets of a dessert plate, teacup, and saucer is called a trio. Trios are worth more. Some teacups are worth hundreds of dollars and at a minimum worth $15 -$20 each. You have thousands in China if you match it up. Some plates can be hundreds. Good China is nothing to sneeze at.
Thanks for the info. I have a trio my mother bought so she could treat herself to a peaceful, elegant snack when the four kids and my dad were in bed or out of the house. English, Shelley Begonia fine bone china.
He does have an obvious distaste for fine china in general. It would be great if someone would come into his life who had a passion for such things. He's probably missed out on a lot of profit over the years. Nobody can do everything.
Alex, I can tell that you really don’t care about doing this, and I’m sorry that things weren’t packed so that you could easily match them. That said, China is incredibly important to many collectors, as historically most brides received china for wedding gifts. Then, over time, pieces got damaged and were hard to replace. Many of us began to collect pieces that we just enjoyed, both nationally and internationally. I love Spode patterns, myself, as well as Limoges and I prowl antique stores and auctions to add to my collection. I appreciate what you are doing today, and have seen a few pieces I love. Carry on!
I look forward to all of your videos, even the boys’ toys ones, but I especially enjoy the girls’ “toys”. I get the feeling you are tired of sorting these because it’s not what you enjoy. It’s kind of frustrating that you are willing to give up on this one after giving your all to clean out hoarded houses. Take a rest and please try again. Picture them as little cars and trucks. We love you, Alex, and all that you do to entertain us. Hugs to you and your family. 💕
I really enjoyed that! I know you don't really enjoy the "girly collectibles" as much as the boy toys, etc., but lot of us collect things like those. You had some pieces that are worth quite a lot in that group.
Finally the china!!!! Been waiting for this day. The snack plates are great!!! Also saw a beleek teacup and I think some Shelley. Wish I was there to help. This is heaven to me! These can go for $25- $85 for each teacup. Could you let us know what dealer you sell to so we can reach out to them to buy the items you showed us. Thanks for this. I’m sure it was exhausting. I could have watched a few hours of this unboxing. I know it’s not your thing but some of us love old china. Thank you.
That was fun to watch. Very reminiscent of clearing out two family hoarder houses in the past three years. Honestly, matching the hundreds of pieces of china was one of the things that kept us laughing through the total bewilderment.
I’ve been waiting for this episode and could have watched it all day! ❤ What a great adventure! ♥️ I’d love to learn more about the patterns. 🙂Thank you so much, Alex and Melissa, for the wonderful video. ❤
Alex, china is very interesting to some of us collectors. I watched the toys and train and guy stuff with you but this China episode is exciting. You have some very nice pieces that have value. This is great❤️
Gosh, this was fun! I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. All that assorted loveliness to be discovered, all in one place! Not for the first time, I wish I lived in your town. I’d be there begging to be allowed to unpack those boxes, to find the matches, to dig out the kitchenware from the china… Fire King! Pyrex! Vaseline glass! Plus the novelty items- those Arizona glasses would go like hot cakes where I live. And all those patterns of china! Some of us are born sorters, I guess. I’m sure you know that there are businesses that specialize in replacements for china patterns, and boy do they make a pretty penny (I have reason to know😄). I kept an eye out for the pink chintz that I personally collect, but so far sadly no. If you are thinking of doing a Part Two for the rest of the boxes, Yes, please! It would be such a treat to see all you end up with.
The sandwich plate with the circle for a teacup is called a Tennis Set. According to Google, afternoon tea was served at Wimbledon, but they didn’t have tables to put their cup and saucer on. The Tennis Set could be held in one hand for their sandwich and cup of tea. I collect china and was drooling at the unboxing. Thank you for sharing, Alexander and Melissa. Take care and get some rest. With best wishes from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺.
Thank you... I remember when china was SO very important when getting married and starting out with your first home. The importance of family meals and holidays with friends and family when the "special" dishes would be brought out and placed so carefully. Days of china cabinets, and hope chests... can imagine the hours of searching catalogs for THE perfect pattern....and saving for monthes to purchase a set. Then the piece by piece extras....
I still live those days. I learned that I shouldn’t save the nice china for special occasions. I use it everyday. My kids are young teens and I am exposing them now to living with fine china everyday. I have the everyday mikasa fine china and for special occasions the Wedgwood comes out. My mother-in-law died and found crystal and china just packed away that she didn’t even bother with for special occasions- so sad. I’m not making the same mistake. I enjoy beautiful things daily. Who knows if saving them is worth it- my kids may just sell them when I die anyway so who cares if they get chipped and crazed!
My parents got their wedding china from the local pharmacy. It was beautiful with a retro Paris scene, mid-century modern a bit abstract. I wish we still had those wonderful pharmacy's like there were back then.
It still sort of was in the 1980s. I bought a good 8 piece set for $100 that is now discontinued, I still have them. There are single dinner plates on ebay now for $100 from that set.
Watching all those lovely tea cups being unboxed and sorted made up for all the hours I’ve watched the guy stuff. 😂 Seriously, enjoyed seeing all the things being unboxed from the house. At least it was a very clean hoard.
I just adore such tea cups and saucers. I drink so much tea, I would just love to have some of those. What a treat it would be to go through all those boxes. Jealous!!!
I wasn't able to comment on the suitcase you just unpacked. I know you wanted to see hotwheels or something, but I enjoyed the dolls. Thanks for showing it. I would have loved to have sorted those cups and saucers with you guys.
I organized hundreds of tea cups and saucers this summer. Look for Paragon Aynsley Shelley and Royal Albert. These are the most valuable names for the most part. Do a ring test on the tea cup and saucer. Hold the bottom of the cup and tap with a pencil or pen. If you hear a clear ring that means there is no cracks crazing or damage.
When me and my sister took our Grandmother's Desert Rose China set to a consignment shop, there was a teapot that was missing it's lid. It was purchased by a person who had the lid, but not the rest of the pot. You never know what someone will buy. The rest of the set sold because it was the original American Made. You can still find the pattern today, but it's all made in China now. People look for the one's made in America, or Later one's made in England. I'D suggest sorting them by pattern and sell them in lot's like that. Some folks have set's that might have lost the odd piece or two that would buy some to complete thier sets again.
When my Mom got married in the 30's the ladies used to have a teacup shower for the Bride . Everyone would bring a new cup /saucer they would all have tea and cakes . Cake plates brought by some of the ladies . Everything would be washed up and given to the Bride to start her home. Those teacups brought to mind my Moms which I now have . Loving the uranium wear . It is very pretty . I wonder about the people making that stuff way back when. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well❤
Soooo happy to see the china patterns!!! Thank you to the person who asked for this. I really wanted to see this 🥳. Alexander- this should pay off with sets to auction. Hope so. Love your channel 👏👏👏👏👏
Lol, those dishes are to some of us what matchbook cars are to you. Restaurant ware is very popular, especially if you find unusual patterns or those used on trains.
I'm VERY interested in the china! I know teacups and saucers aren't your cup of tea. lol But they are mine. 🙂 Thank you for showing us some of it though. Looking forward to the auction(s)!
There is a 60 year old woman in Pittsburgh whose grandmother bought her a tea service in 1977 at Joseph Hornes. If she looks too closely she’ll find that her very expensive bone China saucers don’t match her set. The gold band is about 2 mm thicker. I dropped the matching saucers in the stockroom and broke six of the eight. Better to have them all match. I was puking because it was literally more than a hundred dollars of damage. That was 1977 pricing. China confessions.
@mary hershelman I was married in 1970 and I chose Lenox-Eternal with a gold band on ivory, as my china pattern. I know that one 5 piece place setting at that time was $125.00 I was give 5 5-piece place settings, from a couple who I had cared for in a nursing home. Not hired for that, but he was among the 20 or so patients I had to care for as a nurses aide. This couple wanted to pay to put me through RN school but I chose to get married at 19 and so they purchased those china pieces for me. In addition, it was normal for people to purchase one piece of china to give due to high china costs. I mean $125 was a month’s income for me. You were right to think that you if you dropped those saucers, in 1977, you broke several hundred dollars and the reason they didn’t match was by then they were being made in China.🫣
Royal Winton Grimwades Chintz is collectable and some of the Chintz patterns are rare and quite valuable. This is from the 1930's. Susie Cooper is another one to look out for because her stuff is valuable. It looks like you will be researching on google to get an idea of values.
*Thank you Alexander* for sharing as much of this as you did. I was REALLY looking forward to this, and I asked for it in the comments, and I absolutely enjoyed seeing all of it. It's SO nice to see all those different patterns and styles. This was a rare joy. I'm sorry it was torture for you! So, extra big thank you for showing it anyway! I really appreciate it. 🥰 I am now curious which pattern/style Melissa ran off with! How can you guys leave us hanging on that one!?! 😋
I think it was pyraks (not sure the spelling) the amish blue she liked so much and she was missing a bawl. She took a blue vase as well. I saw it in a live stream
I really enjoyed watching you sort the dishes and would love to know the ones that Melissa picked out for herself. I've been a dish freak since I was a child. I actually bought a set of dishes at a yard sale for $2 and sold them for over $900 a few years ago to an architect in Seattle when eBay was very new. I'd seen where he paid $79 for a bowl that was broken. I thought hey that looks like those yard sale dishes packed up in my shed. Turns out it paid for my first computer.
First of all...I'd watch you and your beautiful wife make a grocery list...love you guys! I never thought I'd enjoy watching china being unpacked but I did! Thank you for filming that.
I know it’s not your thing, but I love seeing all the China. We are all different. I’d rather see China than old oil cans. And it’s cool knowing I have some of these patterns.
Oh, Alexander, just imagine if all those boxes were filled with redlines and other toys! You'd be in heaven. Thanks for taking the time for something your heart really isn't in!!!
The Black floral Royal Winton is Chintz! With plate, sugar and creamer...highly collectable! There were a couple other pieces that are also considered Chintz! You have some very collectible pieces.
My sister found a box of more decorative teacups and saucers that our great-grandmother collected. She was born in 1881, and the pieces are quite lovely. I inherited them because my sister didn't want them.
I'm not even into chinaware , but I found this very interesting and enjoyable! I even recognized a few old pieces I inherited. Knew nothing about uranium glass until now!. Thank you for the video!
Uranium glass is a thing here in Australia too for people who are interested in collecting it. Carnival glass is another thing. Neither appeal to me. I never could understand why friends raved about it.
thank you to M&A for showing some of the china. I would love to have a go at sorting it all out!! Just to see all of it. Love it when you get a hoarded house to go threw.
This is my kind of cleanout lot! I grew up in a house with English pottery and have a love for it. I always hear vintage resellers saying that tea sets/porcelains don't sell well, but they always do for me.
OH! OH! OH! I wish I was there. I would HAPPILY sort all those for you! My Nana and her sisters would buy & collect the cups and saucers of China Designs they liked.
As others have said some of those cups and saucers have a good value. I needed two cups to replace the ones I broke, for a tea service made in the 40's. Found on Ebay seller was from Bendigo Australia.
I had to stop the video to say "Yaay Melissa!" I was thinking geez where's Melissa when you said "there's Melissa." Women like looking at pretty China. Thankyou Alex.
That was FUN! I would watch it ALL be unpacked. I wanted to see all of the uranium glass pieces! Lot's of work, I get it. Thanks for sharing. Curious about the set Melissa kept ;)
That green vase in the uranium glass looks like a swung vase. You didn’t show the top so I’m not positive. That would be worth money on its own. Swung glass is made by clamping the bottom when it’s hot and letting the top swing into its shape. Swung glass vases are coming up in value right now. Thanks for the video, enjoyed this! 💕
I am a collector of teacups and teapots and this video had me itching to get my hands on some them! I have also been in the vintage an antique business for over 23yrs and teacups and teapots have always been a good sellers over the years.
Thanks for the video. After toy cars/trains up the wazoo, finally something for the ladies. If I lived near you I would sort it all and enjoy every minute of it. I know it’s not your “thing” but if it’s too overwhelming just do a couple of totes each day and before you know it…. Done! Wish you would unbox the uranium glass for us. I’d be looking for more of the chintz patterns too; very collectible.
Love the English china! I have a few sets found over the years. My favorites. Second only to my Chinese/Japanese porcelains. If rare, some can be worth $40-50 dollars or more. Royal Albert is still being manufactured. First, determine if hand-painted, or if design is decal.☕
This kind of sorting triggers me. I love matching things. When my aunt died, she had sort of hoarder house (not quite but a bit towards it). One thing I found were tens of thousands of buttons.

Yes I was surprised there wasnt more trios. But wow what a mess to sort out. Pleased to say my china is all boxed up as sets
He does have an obvious distaste for fine china in general. It would be great if someone would come into his life who had a passion for such things. He's probably missed out on a lot of profit over the years.
Nobody can do everything.
The Nurse Flipper has done a video on high priced teacups.🇨🇦
Dishes are not for everyone, but I would certainly love to see what's in all the boxes.
Me too. Too little time. Now he has it all boxed up in totes.
Dear Alex and Melissa, Tens of thousands of your fans hope that you'll go though all of the boxes of china on video for us.
I certainly don’t blame them if they hired someone to do it for them.

I really enjoyed that! I know you don't really enjoy the "girly collectibles" as much as the boy toys, etc., but lot of us collect things like those. You had some pieces that are worth quite a lot in that group.
One of my favorite episodes, and I’m seeing several matches that was missed. Would love to see more china!
The striped cup is called Zebra by Trost for Uppsala Ekeby and quite collectible. Sells for up to 100 Canadian dollars here in Sweden.
I thought it must be nordic for sure 😎
Thanks for showing all these dishes!!!
Oh.... I would have loved to sort that china!!!!
I have to know what intrigued Melissa enough to take!!!!

China can be very collectible and valuable! Would have been fun to see it all!!

Alex, china is very interesting to some of us collectors. I watched the toys and train and guy stuff with you but this China episode is exciting. You have some very nice pieces that have value. This is great❤️
❣️❣️😍
A beautiful variety! It was fun to see, wasn’t it?
I don't find it exciting. I've never been interested in collecting china.
To me that pile of stuff is overwhelming
To each his own. I'm glad Alex has such an eclectic selection of interests for his followers.
China are works of art and beauty, whereas I see his interest in old bottles and oil cans and just think they should go to recycling. :)
Gosh, this was fun! I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. All that assorted loveliness to be discovered, all in one place! Not for the first time, I wish I lived in your town. I’d be there begging to be allowed to unpack those boxes, to find the matches, to dig out the kitchenware from the china… Fire King! Pyrex! Vaseline glass!

Me too
Me too!
Me three!😁
Yes, I'm interested to see what Melissa chose!
Add me to the list!
Looking for a part 2 of the China sorting!! This was really interesting!
The sandwich plate with the circle for a teacup is called a Tennis Set. According to Google, afternoon tea was served at Wimbledon, but they didn’t have tables to put their cup and saucer on. The Tennis Set could be held in one hand for their sandwich and cup of tea. I collect china and was drooling at the unboxing. Thank you for sharing, Alexander and Melissa. Take care and get some rest. With best wishes from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺.

sorry you aren't up to all of that sorting...I loved seeing it.
I loved seeing the pieces that, literally, came to light and would really enjoy seeing more and saw a few I'd def. buy!!

I am now curious which pattern/style Melissa ran off with! How can you guys leave us hanging on that one!?! 😋
Please don;t.
Thank you for asking. I enjoyed so much.
💖💖
I think it was pyraks (not sure the spelling) the amish blue she liked so much and she was missing a bawl. She took a blue vase as well. I saw it in a live stream
Retribution? Kidding, I'm mildly curious to see what style Melissa went off with too! 😁
So happy that you decided to bring us along
Thank you for doing the china, I have been waiting for it.
I'm so excited to watch this china episode!!
I really enjoyed this episode. I hope you get some rest and go back to it so we can see what all is in there. I would like the medalta mug!!!!
I really enjoyed watching you sort the dishes and would love to know the ones that Melissa picked out for herself. I've been a dish freak since I was a child. I actually bought a set of dishes at a yard sale for $2 and sold them for over $900 a few years ago to an architect in Seattle when eBay was very new. I'd seen where he paid $79 for a bowl that was broken. I thought hey that looks like those yard sale dishes packed up in my shed. Turns out it paid for my first computer.
I would have lost it. Too many to find. Thank your wife for helping.

Oh, Alexander, just imagine if all those boxes were filled with redlines and other toys! You'd be in heaven. Thanks for taking the time for something your heart really isn't in!!!
The Black floral Royal Winton is Chintz! With plate, sugar and creamer...highly collectable! There were a couple other pieces that are also considered Chintz! You have some very collectible pieces.
My sister found a box of more decorative teacups and saucers that our great-grandmother collected. She was born in 1881, and the pieces are quite lovely. I inherited them because my sister didn't want them.
Fascinating collection of China
I'm not even into chinaware , but I found this very interesting and enjoyable! I even recognized a few old pieces I inherited. Knew nothing about uranium glass until now!. Thank you for the video!
Uranium glass is a thing here in Australia too for people who are interested in collecting it. Carnival glass is another thing. Neither appeal to me. I never could understand why friends raved about it.
If you don’t find matching sets, group them by color. Some people love mismatched sets with a similar color or theme.
Thank you Alex, for sorting all the China, l'am learning a lot from you sorting this.
Congrats you won My prize🎁🎉🎊

Ooh! I would’ve loved doing that unboxing!!! There were some really beautiful sets hidden in there 😍
Wow! I love seeing all of these lovely dishes.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Melissa! So glad you are going through the china too🥳👏👏
Sorting and matching up all that china is kind of like heaven for me. Wish I was closer, I'd have sorted it all and had a great time doing it!
Thanks for sharing the china. It's my favorite find
Love seeing the china and glassware. Wish we could see more.
Looks like the lighting was planned well for your work area. it's almost as bright as in the daytime. Melissa got a reward for helping. A+
thank you to M&A for showing some of the china. I would love to have a go at sorting it all out!! Just to see all of it. Love it when you get a hoarded house to go threw.
Very suspenseful, with every plate or tea cup, "Will he find a match?" Argggh! Start another pile, Gertrude, we will find the match another day.
Alex. The black and white striped cup is called "Zebra" and it's designed by Eugen Trost for Gefle, Sweden. Its worth $100-150 alone.
I didn't think I liked china but oh man some of these are fantastic!! Even the scan of the few teacup sets you found at the end was so exciting!
Uranium glass is super hot right now! Wow that's a haul
This is my kind of cleanout lot! I grew up in a house with English pottery and have a love for it.
I always hear vintage resellers saying that tea sets/porcelains don't sell well, but they always do for me.
OH! OH! OH! I wish I was there. I would HAPPILY sort all those for you!
My Nana and her sisters would buy & collect the cups and saucers of China Designs they liked.
Oh! I would love to try to match those cups and saucers up! Like a treasure hunt! Great fun!
As others have said some of those cups and saucers have a good value. I needed two cups to replace the ones I broke, for a tea service made in the 40's. Found on Ebay seller was from Bendigo Australia.
I had to stop the video to say "Yaay Melissa!" I was thinking geez where's Melissa when you said "there's Melissa." Women like looking at pretty China. Thankyou Alex.
Love the violet cup and saucer!!!
That was FUN! I would watch it ALL be unpacked. I wanted to see all of the uranium glass pieces! Lot's of work, I get it. Thanks for sharing. Curious about the set Melissa kept ;)
Alex showed it on a live last week, a Pyrex bowl, vase and the peacock
@@ppurgett I think that Cocopuffs means the set of china.
@@ppurgett She kept some china pieces from this video that weren't shown by Alex in his other video.
That green vase in the uranium glass looks like a swung vase. You didn’t show the top so I’m not positive. That would be worth money on its own. Swung glass is made by clamping the bottom when it’s hot and letting the top swing into its shape. Swung glass vases are coming up in value right now. Thanks for the video, enjoyed this! 💕
It definitely looked like a swung vase and they are hot!
🎉🎉🎉it’s the CHINA episode!
Thanks for doing it.
love seeing the old dishes, would like to see the set Melissa kept.
All that work, so tired and he has dinner with his mom.
You are a gem.
Take a rest Alex. Even if it's a small one.
Yes, I am interested in china too.
That Fire-King lusterware is gorgeous!
I am a collector of teacups and teapots and this video had me itching to get my hands on some them! I have also been in the vintage an antique business for over 23yrs and teacups and teapots have always been a good sellers over the years.
Thanks for the video. After toy cars/trains up the wazoo, finally something for the ladies. If I lived near you I would sort it all and enjoy every minute of it. I know it’s not your “thing” but if it’s too overwhelming just do a couple of totes each day and before you know it…. Done! Wish you would unbox the uranium glass for us. I’d be looking for more of the chintz patterns too; very collectible.
he wants his garage back
Thank you for sharing, caught a glimpse of a plate I had as a child, left it behind with my grandma when we moved from England to Australia.
So glad you did a video. Was definitely hoping we would see more of the sorting of boxes from the house. Thank you.
Excited to see antique china. 🙂
Love the English china! I have a few sets found over the years. My favorites. Second only to my Chinese/Japanese porcelains. If rare, some can be worth $40-50 dollars or more. Royal Albert is still being manufactured. First, determine if hand-painted, or if design is decal.☕
