How Do You Locate Discontinued China Patterns?
Whether you buy or inherit an older pattern of discontinued china, you may find that you are missing pieces. Locating a discontinued pattern of china can be difficult if you are only searching in stores. Using the Internet as a resource, you can find hundreds of patterns from hundreds of manufacturers. For most online dinnerware directories, you will need to know at least the manufacturer and, if possible, the pattern name, version or pattern number. You can also consider looking in other places, such as online auctions, yard sales or estate sales. Contacting the manufacturer directly might also help you locate the discontinued china pieces. Browse on your computer, using the Internet, to a dinnerware directory, such as Old China Patterns Limited, Noritake China, Replacements or China Replacements. Enter as much information as you have about the pattern you are searching for in the search forms. You may be asked to provide the manufacturer’s name, the pattern name or the pattern number
