It never fails; some of your perfect china is always ruined by a visiting relative and their small child. It is such a heartache--especially if it is rare. Here are some of the best places to look for your china replacements.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Internet Access
  • Some Moolah
  • Perseverance
  • Optimism
  1. Step 1

    If you can remember where you bought your original china (assuming that is hasn't been handed down), check that store or manufacturer first. You can even hope that they are having a sale.

  2. Step 2

    Next, try going to yard sales. You never know; you could get lucky and find exactly what you are looking for. And not to mention, it will be a lot cheaper than buying it from the manufacturer.

  3. Step 3

    Thrift stores are a great place to look as well. Just like a garage sale, you might get lucky and find exactly the right china replacement dish to complete your set.

  4. Step 4

    Go online. There are many discontinued china sites that will most likely have what you are looking for. You can search by photo, pattern, brand name, or manufacturer. This is one of the best resources to find your missing china piece.
