  3. Dear Mariette. What unique piece to own. Really romantic and classy for sure. Its a treasure to own something of such quality and beauty. I inherited some furniture and a porcelain dinner set from my grandparents. No one else in the family were interested, but to me their value is priceless. So much joy and happy memories those things brings me. Its a good feeling to know they are with me:-) sending hugs to you
