R H & S L Plant (Ltd) - manufacturers of porcelain at the Tuscan Works, Longton in the period circa 1898 - 1967/1970. The original Tuscan China was manufactured by brothers R. H. and S. L. Plant Ltd in Longton in the heart of the Staffordshire potteries. Longton, together with the township of Lane End, formed one of the six towns that now make up Stoke-on-Trent. Tuscan specialized in decorative fine bone china dinnerware that is very fine and light. Despite their reputation for quality, the company suffered the fate of the other potteries with lower sales and higher costs after WW2. In 1966, and according to other sources in 1972, the company was acquired by Wedgwood Group, RH & SL Plant Ltd. was re-named "Royal Tuscan" and continued as a manufacturing unit of the Wedgwood Group. www.gracesguide.co.uk/
Early marks include the initials 'R H & S L P', marks post 1902 include the trade-name 'TUSCAN'.

Without knowing the age of china it is difficult to determine the price.
I could not find the same pattern china as yours for sale. Contact replacements.com
The truth is that these are very hard to sell, especially with metal trim, which is not dishwasher or microwave safe. I had to donate a set of Rosenthal china, which was very expensive when new.
It is difficult to really identify your pattern from this picture.
The pieces that everyone is showing may be the correct pattern but I have not seen any set with markings showing the same wording you have in your question.
It would have been helpful if you had shown a picture of the underside markings as this is the information needed to correctly identify your pattern.
You show - R.H.&S.L. Plant Fine Bone China from Dover.
I have been unable to locate any of this brand china with Dover printed on the bottom.
If you're still interested in good information you should send several good pictures as well as a good description of your set to several free appraisal sites.

Selling usually means shipping and this would be a very expensive set to pack and ship as each box (may take 4 or 5 boxes) will be heavy if packed properly.
You may wish to advertise your set as 'local pick up'.
