i have the same problem, my crystal is Princess House from way back when I did the party rounds about 35 years ago. I would use them accept the style is not popular.
Depending on the style, you could use some of the glassware as votive candle holders. Put a bit of sand in the bottom and then drop in a small votive or tea light. You could wind a bit of vine around the stem or tie a ribbon to add some color.
I am wondering why you aren't using it. I use my crystal and china at least one day a week as a reason to make the day special. But if you aren't going to use as intended, turn into candle holder by gluing a saucer on top. Fill with decorative sand or glass beads, use to hold your daily jewelry when you remove it at end of the day.
I woiuld think that they could be used to create a classy chandelier or lamp of some sort with lights placed strategically to show off the beautiful cuts of the lead crystal. Maybe the small fairy lights interwoven among clusters of the stemware. We need to think outside of the box! I'll keep thinking....... Maybe a women's jewelry boutique could make good use of it for jewelry to be displayed in and on some of it.

Personally I would look into selling it.Find out if there is any value first and take from there.
