It's not like the boxes would be small; there's a limited amount of places you can store that quantity of china or silver!
And as far as locations, there's this house, which she never had access to except with us carrying the stuff in for her - including the boatshed; there's the cottage, and the guest cottage at the cottage. We've looked in the shed, the guest cottage, and the attic now, so unless the china is hidden under the bench in the sauna, we can't think of anywhere else to look. And it doesn't seem like the sort of stuff she could have found the time (or inclination) to get rid of without mentioning it to us. Plus, why would she get rid of her silver tableware but not the serving implements? I'm pulling out my hair here.
I feel like I'm in one of those golden age detective mysteries with a missing will, or a missing heirloom jewelry, or something.
