No no we can't use those plates! Those are your inheritance!

We have four sets of fine china in our basement, from various grandparents passing. We also got one for our wedding. One day I'm going to pass them all to my kids.

I'm hoping that one day society collapses under the burden of guilt ridden plates.

As someone who haunts estate auctions, for the voyuerism as well as the opportunity for cheap goods, this looks very much like a standard staple on auction in an effort to clean out the item of real value: the house.

I know I'll just be inheriting three (and counting) display cabinets of German pottery and having a bonfire of dolls.

Holy slop picture Batman

All of this lies packed into storage because 1 plastic cup does everything these days, and can't shatter from hitting the floor.
