Hello Bonnie, Your set must be very nice, that is a lovely pattern. Your best bet for an evaluation is to contact your local antiques dealers to see if one of them carries or deals in flow blue, for an appraisal. If they don't, ask if they know someone who does. Or check out the largest antiques show or antiques mall near you, there is bound to be a dealer there with some flow blue. Another suggestion would be to check out Ebay for some prices on your pattern. I would suggest, if you intend to keep it, that you add a fine arts rider to your home insurance and have it insured once you have your appraisal. Most home policies do not cover antiques. Meanwhile, photograph the set. A picture is easier to carry with you for information and proof than a piece of your china. Good luck.
