What do you do with stuff like this? I'll never want to serve on it, or put it on display. Is it enough to record it for posterity? My mother has saved them for me for decades. Now I have them. But I find them embarrassing. And I feel they will just take up space and be dead weight to move around when I move.
What to do?
Do you save stuff like this done by your kids?

no subject
Other things I keep if I can put them on display or use them everyday, like a little ceramic dog my grandfather maid when he was in his 80's that holds my glasses overnight so I never have to wonder where they are in the morning.
If you keep them, use them otherwise donate them to a food bank to give away.
