Hi Hollie, the quickest and easiest way to get an idea of value is to head to eBay.com and do a search for Blue Willow Japan...you'll see images and bids, and you can compare what you have to what you see in the listing photos. You can also go to the "advance" section of eBay and click on "completed listings" within the same search and you can see what actually sold for what prices (not just what someone is asking). A seller can ask for any price, but you'll want to know what people are actually paying. If the set is all matched (not pieces just pit together) that makes it nice...but not necessarily worth more. The Japan willow pieces like you have are pretty common and so don't bring the highest prices, but prices can vary and it just depends on who is buying. My rough retail guess (all in very good condition) is cups & saucers/plates/bowls: $4-6 each; platter $10-12; pitcher (not sure what shape/size you have and price will vary on that): $15-20; creamer/sugar: $10-15 pair. Maybe this helps some. Thanks for visiting our site. Jeff
