Any antiques experts out there?

[bananiem]

I realize this is a long shot but on the DisBoards you just never know!
For our wedding over 15 years ago my aunt gave us a set of 6 shallow bowls that have "Bouquet by Shafford 3178" stamped on the bottom of them. Her neighbor at the time was an antiques collector and seller and I'm wondering if they have any value. I tried to do a search using Google but didn't find anything. Does anybody know how I can go about getting an estimate without actually leaving home?
Thanks!

I did a yahoo search on "Shafford + dish" and found lots of stuff. It looks like this stuff was mostly made in the 80's. I didn't go too in depth, so I could be mistaken, but that's what I found.

Have you tried looking at the site for Replacements? Probably www.replacements.com. I have found some of my DH's family's old china pieces on there and the cost of replacements.

RNMoM- I did try Replacements but they didn't have this design listed under Shafford.
Tina- I found lots for this Shafford company but not for this specific design. I guess that's what I'm looking for- info on the specific design.
Thanks for your replies!!
