I inherited these from my mom, who got them from her mom. I don't have any use for them, but also don't want to chuck them in the charity bin. Any idea if there is a market for them? I have 8 plates and four of the little bowls.
Crown china is not a valuable pattern but it seems to be selling okay - china is usually not a fast seller in any brand.
Staffordshire is a series and has many patterns.
Your pattern is CRS81 but not to be confused with a similar pattern; A807.
These patterns are very similar - white with scalloped/fluted and gold trim.
CRS81 was made after 1906.
Your set is called snack/luncheon sets but most all sets have cups where yours has a bowl.
This may make your set more valuable as I could not find this bowl on any site.
This pattern is listed on Replacements as highly marked down pieces which usually means the value is going down and pattern is difficult to sell. Check out their retail prices.

This is a similar set but cups and not bowls:
www.ebay.com/
www.ebay.com/
eBay shows some sold listings so you can see what people are willing to pay.

I believe you could list your set with a starting price of $75 - $100 and offer best offer plus shipping. Lower the price if necessary
List it on any of the popular sites - especially Facebook Marketplace.
You will need good pictures and not the plate you have here but one that shows a clean picture of the marking.
Be very careful with packing and shipping as these are very fragile.
I have a feeling this is a married set--can you show the bowl?
By married set, I mean the original cup broke and it was replaced with a sherbet bowl or dip/crudité bowl from a similar set.
The CRS81 (to my knowledge) was only sold with a cup, not a bowl.
The plates are selling (ASKING PRICE) (not seen them sold, but people asking) 9.99 plus shipping.
If I saw the bowl from the side and the bottom, I may be able to offer additional info.
Thanks for sharing!! Lost are the days when there were ladies who lunched with these fine pieces!! Sad!!

I am wondering if you had any information about this tea set. I have a lot of it and I was wondering if you would know what it would be worth. Thanks
Thanks for the additional photos. I they do not match any of the big brands that I am familiar with. This is a very common pattern scheme--with literally hundreds of flowers that are similar but not exact.
My guess is they are from the 1920s to the 1950s when these patterns were popular. The 1980s paper was probably when she packed it up. Just a gut feeling.
If you are asking to sell, I never recommend selling these online (anymore) because shipping is too dangerous.
I would suggest if you go to the flea market to sell or have a yard sale, sell them there. Maybe start at $10 a cup/saucer and take whatever someone offers.
Or, if you have a consignment stop, see if they will sell them for you.
Post back what you decide. Thanks for the additional info and sharing!
I have a setting for 14 of R.H.& S.L. Plant Fine Bone China from Dover and would like to know how much it is worth. All is in great condition and purchased in 1965. White with gold trim. Anyone know the value?
This a nice set, and more than most have to sell. Value differs in certain areas. But can still get the most for your money thru these selling tips, if you want to sell private. - www.sheepbuy.com/

The company of Thomas Forester opened in 1877.
Phoenix Works, 500 King Street was built in 1881 by Thomas Forester (this year is stamped on your pendant). In 1883, the company became Thomas Forester & Sons, when Thomas's sons, Herbert and Victor joined the partnership. The company manufactured Majolica and earthenware and became a Limited Company in 1891. The firm continued to operate until 1959.
There are websites with additional information about Thomas Forester & Sons Ltd. thomasforester.com/
I found the same oval pendant as yours Vintage Ceramic Rose Design Pendant Necklace Phoenix Fine Bone China England from the 1960s, pendant height is 2 inches, width 1.5 inches, Victorian style, with the same stamp as your pendant www.etsy.com/
Is my bone china tea sets worth anything? I just want to know before I get rid of them. They are all Duberry, I think that is what they say on the bottom.
I like to go on eBay and see what items actually sold for. You may have to check regularly for a few months
Could you please tell me where this came from? Who maybe made it? And what it's worth is? I havent been able to find this specific plate anywhere online.
I have a dish that says Royal Albert Bone China England Prairie Rose on the bottom. It is heart shaped with wavy edges and has a small handle.
The print is of wild roses. About how much is this worth?
I have a complete set of bone China from England. It has the "number/letter" markings in the center on the back of the plates.
How would I get this appraised and where? We live in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
You have authentic English bone china. It was made before 1967 because the words, "Tuscan Fine English Bone China" are placed above an English crown. I hope you have the complete set. I'm not sure what it is worth, but this British website would be able to help you: www.collectable-china.co.uk/
Some finer jewelry stores offer china appraisals, as do some upscale auction houses.
Your photo does not give us very much information as the pattern name, number of pieces or place settings that you are calling a complete set and most importantly a photo of the pattern are missing.
Manufactured for Harrods (on the back) may mean a "private" pattern made only for Harrods or may be just one of the patterns made for Harrods and not sold worldwide.
Because there is no photo or pattern name you will have to do your own research as you have the china in front of you. Basic research for Tuscan anywhere may not tell you anything unless you can get information concerning the patterns sold/made for Harrods.
Replacements is usually the best place to find out the value of fine china but this will not work with the information shown here.
Here is their web site that you can send them photos of your china and they may be able to identify it for you and they may be able to give you an estimate of value.
I have a set of crown bone china. How much would it be worth. There are 2 cups and saucers, sugar dish, and milk jug.
I have a commemorative plate/saucer with the pictures of Charles and Diana and the wording: To Commemorate the Birth of Their First Child". Is it worth anything?
I don't think this has a very high value at all. I've seen a few of these advertised for sale on eBay and they are asking only $16 to $20 for them. I think this is more of a collectors item and doesn't hold a high resale value at all.
It's not worth much. I bought a mug to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth in 1977 and it's probably worth less than what I paid.
I have some bone china; made in England. Royal Vale number 7514 cup, saucer, and plate. Does this set have any value?
