The History Of Shelley Cups & Saucers!
This Massive single owner collection of Shelley came from the Judy and Jerry Silverman Collection. The Story Behind the collection: What began as a simple love for antiquing transformed into a lifelong journey of passion, artistry, and connection the moment they discovered their very first Shelley fine bone china teacup. It was love at first sight?captivated by the delicate translucent porcelain, the vibrant hand-painted patterns, and the iconic, innovative shapes that define the Shelley name. That single teacup sparked a grand adventure. Over the years, their passion took them across the globe as they traveled the world in search of rare shapes, elusive styles, and unique patterns to add to their growing collection. Their collection grew to be so exceptional and well-regarded that several of their teacups were officially featured and photographed in a published book "Shelley Tea Ware Patterns" by Sheryl Burdess.?a testament to the rarity and stunning quality of the pieces they curated. A collection is more than just beautiful objects?it is a map of the friendships and journeys made along the way. Beyond the exquisite porcelain, the true heart of their collection lies in the community it created. As proud, active members of the National Shelley China Club, they didn?t just collect china; they built deep connections with other collectors. We are honered to sell over 800 cups and saucers from this collection. As always, this estate collection is a fresh-to-market collection to be sold with no reserves to the highest bidder! All lots start at $10.00. We stand behind what we sell so you can bid with confidence. In-house shipping on small items, and local UPS Store shipping options are available, as well as local pick-up in Monmouth Junction, NJ. This is a live broadcast sale with auctioneers and callers describing all lots in the sale so you feel like you are at the auction in person.

Execution = Amazing
I do not quite remember having bid for the item (although I definitely looked at it), and having received it, this item is definitely not to my liking. This said, the auction house execution was perfect-from follow up to payment to shipment. MOST IMPORTANTLY is that unlike LiveAuctioneers who provide a possibility to ship at a pre-determined cost (which somehow always ends up being TOO EXPENSIVE), this auction house makes its money on the auction, and once a product is sold provides logistics as a service. AND WHAT A SERVICE IT IS! LiveAuctioneers-you can definitely look and learn!
