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:

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!!
Old bone china pieces can have a range of values. The maker, age, and rarity of the piece all play a part.
