Finest german porcelain bought in the 1980's but still available new. Gracious styling made for Christmas Day and special events. My daughter has different taste and I've been carting it around hoping for a change of mind.
Pricing is difficult but I think $600 negotiable.

Bony-toothed birds (Pelagornithids), an ancient family of huge seafaring birds, were thought to have evolved in the Northern Hemisphere, until the discovery of the family's oldest but smallest member in New Zealand.
Amateur palaeontologist Leigh Love discovered the partial Protodontopteryx skeleton at the Waipara Greensand fossil site - the same area where he found evidence of a 1.6 metre-high giant penguin in 2018.
