Here are just a handful of our recent finds and reviews.

Search request: Denby Potters Wheel – Tan Centre – Dessert/Salad Plate

Denby Potters Wheel

“Prompt courteous service. Two large orders in the past year, the second because Chinasearch actually kept an eye out for the pieces not available when I placed the first order. I never expected to hear back, but when they say they’ll watch for additional items not in stock, they actually do it! We were thrilled! Orders were filled promptly and properly packed for overseas shipment – not the slightest damage to any piece. A very well-run operation, highly recommended.”

Search request: Crown Staffordshire Pagoda

Crown Staffordshire Pagoda

"I was pleasantly surprised when I had received the alert that the plate I was looking for was available for purchase - I had put in the request over a year ago and hadn't expected to hear again. When the notice came through and the personal call trying to help me secure it as quickly as possible I was surprised and thrilled, seeing as I still hadn't found it. This is a great service and I would recommend it to anyone trying to fill any holes they might have in their china set."

Search request: Wedgwood - Sarah's Garden - Salt Pig - Green

Wedgwood - Sarah's Garden

"Was very pleasantly surprised to get a post Christmas email advising that an item that I had asked Chinasearch to find had been found. I was easily able to access the website and immediately purchase my Sarahs Garden Wedgwood salt pig which arrived a week or so later beautifully packaged. It was some time ago that I had put in my request and tbh had forgotten that I had logged the request what a brilliant service."

Search request: Masons - Vista - Pink - Tea / Side Plate

Masons - Vista - Pink

"Chinasearch have kept in contact for 2 or 3 years on my requirements for Masons Pink Vista tea plates. They are difficult to find and I have been able to buy the odd one or two as they become available. They are also prepared to keep looking for me. My experience has been excellent and I keep my fingers crossed that more come into their hands!"

Search request: Habitat - Tzaria - Dinner Plate

Habitat - Tzaria

"I didn't really expect china search to work. I registered and forgot about it, but after about 18 months I guess they did get exactly the plates I was looking for and in good condition. Also once I agreed to pay for them they came very quickly and they were packed so thoroughly - nothing could have damaged them. Very pleased and would recommend."

Could we help with your china search?

It’s easy to register for our free search service – all the information you need is here:

www.chinasearch.co.uk/about-us/search

Simply find the item you need on our website, select how many you would like and click the green ‘Search for Me’ button. We can sometimes locate a piece within a couple of days or weeks, or it can take up to a few years.

There’s no obligation, so when we do find the item and call our customer to let them know, it’s absolutely fine if they no longer need it… although it’s rare that our calls aren’t met with excitement, delight and a keenness to receive the piece as soon as possible! It’s a part of our job that we truly love.
