    Hey bees! Im a bit stuck - my china is now discontinued and I dont have a "complete" set. I was hoping for 12 place settings, and a lot of serving pieces. What I have is 8 5-piece place settings, an oval platter, and a covered vegetable dish. The only pieces I can find now have slight imperfections- and I dont want those- its Wedgwood! Im contemplating selling the whole collection and starting anew. My only other option is completing the set with another color of the duchesse collection. What should I do?

    What about mixing and matching with colors in the same collection?

    I've thought of that.. but Im sure they will all be discontinued soon, then Ill be stuck with misc. pieces that will look like I tried to hard. UNLESS, I just pick a totally different pattern and try to make it work... Hmmmmm.

    Have you checked ebay?  You might find the missing pieces.

    I think this is your pattern: http://www.replacements.com/webquote/WW_PID.htm

    Looks like they have a ton!  I got some extra pieces of the discontinued Wedgwood china my grandmother left me on this site.

    @Marzipan- they do have a lot! The only thing is, its discontinued- and I cant really afford to spend $$$ all at one time... by the time I can afford it, my choices might be slim.

    @Arancia, I think the site is always getting new stock from people looking to sell.  You can register to receive email updates for your pattern's availability.  I've been getting the emails for a few years and they always have a stock of place settings and other pieces - and my pattern was discontinued in the early 80s!  Hope this helps :) Good luck!
