Calling the experts in this type thing. Y'all have given me great advice and information in the past. Is this just ok or trash? Picked it up at an estate sale where everything in the house was from Europe. The husband was a geologist, as many in this area are, and made money when oil money was here. Could kick myself for not buying the Arabia dishes! Came home and found out they sell for quite a bit.

Have no info on this, but yeah, the Arabia China is usually worth a lot. Most people don't know it is from Finland

The Arabia was stamped Finland but I had no idea it is popular. I thought it was ugly because of the brownish color reminding me of the 70's earth tones...yuck. I came home and looked up on ebay and was very surprised. I could have bought several pieces for $36.50 and more than tripled my money. A 5 piece setting sold for $71.00 on ebay. Oh well a lesson learned. I am trying to learn the brands and such but there are so many.
