I inherited a load of decorative plates. I found some bills and one at least cost £60 back in the 80s or 90s.
Worth next to nothing on eBay so I put together a website selling them at high prices and did manage to get rid of quite a lot but there are still lots left. 

They never sold in sets. Always just an individual plate. I think people had knocked them off Granny's wall or cabinet and were replacing them.

I gave up on the site when it had been over a year since I sold one. I doubt even charity shops would be keen. My father thought they would be an investment. Some were marginally attractive but others were, imo at least, hideous.

I have lovely Denby dinner plates they are not fancy just simple and I use them every day and have done for years . I have never had a 'set' as such I just buy what I actually need and like .
So my Denby stuff ( apart from the dinner plates ) doesn't match .

Nothing like that in my home.. I don't even have a complete dinner/tea set..
 If I see something in the charity shop that catches my eye .. such as a dinner plate .. cup.. tea plate.. I buy it.
 All mishmash... I'm probably sitting on a fortune..

klondike, lots of people bought decorative plates, in sets, from companies like Danbury Mint as an investment.  I was part of a small group that ran a stall, for charity, in an antiques centre years ago.  An auctioneers gave us a talk on various items, and he said many of those decorative plates had little value.  We get £1 or £2 in the charity shop.

I like Denby for every day use, I've also got a few bits of Hornsea, we used to visit the potteries there years ago.  Both sell well in the shop.
