I have sold or donated well over a half dozen inherited and purchased sets over time, finally settled on all white, large format plates and deep soup plates for fish stews, etc. IMHO, food looks better on totally unpatterned china with no distraction. And when a shape is either redundant or needed, I can easily swap out at Pottery Barn and friends.
I like my every day set; I don’t want to buy stuff because my current ones don’t “fit” in my shelving.
My mother’s main china is a simple white Lenox with I think gold trim. That works for me. But my parents still have and use their stuff. So not my issue now and if anything when/ if they do sell their home they should have an estate sale.
