Surely, almost everyone was surprised at the large number of old dishes, glass Christmas tree decorations and glass holders that are stored on the shelves of grandparents. Do not rush to consider it rubbish and throw it in the trash. Antique dealers are ready to shell out a tidy sum for things of the past. I suggest you check out the following list!
Soviet service
In Soviet times, a porcelain service was in almost every apartment. He stood in the sideboard behind the glass, he was treasured, he was taken out only on special occasions and shook over every cup. And he was a sign of wealth. Porcelain is very fragile and, despite careful handling, the dishes broke, cracked, and chips appeared. Now it is very difficult to find an intact one. The Madonna service is especially appreciated at the moment, it has retro-style murals depicting naked girls. The pattern is decorated with gilding. Such a set of GDR was produced, and was of very high quality. Now you can get 450 euros for the whole Madonna service! There is also a less expensive, but also high-value service "Olympiada-80", it costs from 136 euros.
Crystal
There was also a lot of crystal in the sideboards of the grandmothers. It was washed, rubbed, and placed so that everyone could see. Nowadays it is not fashionable to display crystal, but old sets are highly prized. For example, pre-revolutionary crystal costs between 40 and 500 euros.
Coasters
Coasters are probably associated with train travel. And they too can be a true treasure. Silver cup holders with the author's "signature" are highly valued. For example, a Swans cup holder made of silver can now be sold for about 200 euros, a cup holder "Spartakiada 1959" made of cupronickel for 19 euros.
Samovar
Now samovars are presented only as a souvenir, but, according to our grandmothers and grandfathers, drinking tea from them was a great pleasure. An old 3 liter electric samovar made of brass or nickel with worn wear costs about 10 euros. But wood-burning nickel-plated 7 liters will cost almost 150 euros!
Cast iron cookware
Such dishes have always been highly valued, because they can be used for centuries and more! Some have a dowry from their grandmothers in the form of a cast-iron frying pan, and the dishes on it come out much tastier than on modern ones with a non-stick coating! Such pans cost about 90 euros, and cast iron pans for 12 liters cost about 60 euros.
Bakeware
Hazelnuts, waffle makers, cookie cutters are also very much in demand among collectors. For example, hazelnuts cost 80-100 euros, as well as a cookie cutter, if they are in perfect condition, if they are shabby, then about 15 euros.
Pyrex cookware
This is a French dish, heat-resistant, and is still appreciated by housewives. But housewives like these dishes with a 20-year "run" more. She is given a price tag of 15 to 150 euros, depending on the condition.
Christmas decorations
Porcelain and glass toys with campaign signatures made at the beginning of the 20th century are highly valued. Wool toys are also appreciated. You can get for such from 20 to 190 euros apiece!
Just awesome! It's time to pay a visit to grandmother and see what interesting things she has lying around. After all, now vintage things are back in fashion. Well, where will our grandmothers take them? Either they will be kept in the attic until everything is beaten and spoiled in the end, or thrown away.
