Does anyone know what this china is worth? I can't seem to find any info about it's value online please help!
You will need to compare it apples to apples with your color, not the others in the line. Your pattern is called
Windsor Green Multicolor by Ridgway and it is described by Replacements.com as Green Multicolor Floral & Birds, Scallop
Retail values for each piece can be found on Replacements.com. Here is a link: www.replacements.com/
You can expect to fetch 1/8 to 1/4 of what they retail for on that site if you sell them on your own. Replacements has a very high (to me) mark up on retail in the resale world.
You can use their retail and try to start that high, but in most cases if you sell them on your own, you will fetch much less.
If you are not expereinced in selling china, it is a complicated process--if you have a local Facebook marketplace group you can try to offer the set as a whole, but the money is made selling them by the piece on eBay or Etsy, but it can forever to sell off a whole set.
Most people don't want whole sets, they just want to replace a piece they broke, or maybe they have new family members and they want an extra place setting--which is why it is easiest to sell by piece.
They are very fragile, so if you do sell online, each piece needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap, then double boxed, so the piece does not touch within 2 inches of the edge of each box. Then use packing peanuts of pool noodles between each box layer.
Be sure to wrap and weigh first so you don't lose money on shipping.
Post back how your sale goes!
The original Ridgeway china made from 1744/1792 until 1940 is still considered to be in the high upper value range but china made after 1940 is considered in the lower value market as that is when Ridgeway merged with another company and then became part of Royal Doulton in the 1960s.
I did find a few different sold pieces in this color but all seem to be in the same price range as similar pieces so I believe you could make some value judgement price on any sold piece which is interesting as this is not always the case. I think this pattern is appealing as a mix & match color which may make it more appealing to anyone with any color in this pattern.
You do not say what pieces you have available so you may have to check each piece to see if any color has sold or just go with PGHgirl's suggestion on value from Replacement's prices.
Does anybody know what that symbol is, and does it have any value?
I have had this 23 piece Tuscan fine English bone china tea set for many years now. I am unsure of its value or how far back it dates. Can someone maybe advise?
R H & S L Plant (Ltd) began its production c.1898. In 1966 it was acquired by the holding company Wedgwood, RH & SL Plant Ltd. was re-named "Royal Tuscan". Marks post 1902 include the trade-name 'TUSCAN'. The mark with note the introduction of the wording "FINE ENGLISH BONE CHINA" has been in use since 1947.
Very pretty.
Someone buying this type of set usually purchases it for display purposes so you may be able to sell it as a set.
A sale may happen but shipping will be a tremendous undertaking as if even one piece gets broken the buyer may not want the set so be sure that you know how to wrap and pack extremely fragile items.
Your pattern - R H & S L Plant (Ltd) - Tuscan Bone China Blenheim is not plentiful but does not appear to be rare.
This pattern appears to have at least 2 different shapes of cups (you have some of both). larger cup is coffee cup and your 2 smaller cups are tea cups.It also has different types of teapots/coffee pot and also different sugar bowls.
You can see some of the pieces on Replacements:

Two 'sets' have sold recently (one in US) but they are not identical to yours - different pieces.
This one sold for $100 plus shipping but I see that shipping cost was probably underestimated - too low.
This one does not have a teapot.
www.ebay.com/
This set sold in UK for GBP 75 ($103.) but it is just the coffee set - larger pot and cups:
www.ebay.com/
I believe you could list your set with a higher starting price with best offer considered, free local pick up and also state real shipping cost. Maybe consider $150-$175 plus shipping and if no offers lower the price.
Otherwise you could list them in groups and price them accordingly.
Hi I would like to know about this Arzberg set. It has multiple maker's stamps, could I market as set and is it worth anything?
6 X dinner plates
I do not think it could really be called a 'set' and sets are more difficult to sell and very difficult to pack and ship. Shipping is also very expensive when dealing with this many pieces of china.
I believe this style/pattern was generally sold to the restaurant trade so that is probably the reason there are so many different marks on your pieces.

You might want to try selling in singles or groups of 2-6 pieces so perhaps they will be easier to pack and ship.
It will take longer to sell all of the groups but you will receive more money in the long run.
Your cups appear to be demitasse cups (?) - if so, these should be sold as a set if possible.
You can check out the prices for your pieces on Replacements so you can get a general idea of what level to price your pieces.
Your prices should be started lower that Replacements but you can start high and if not sales you can lower your prices.

I am having trouble identifying this mark for Johnson Brothers dishware. What is it worth, and what period is it from?
You have Johnson Brothers England Athena. Athena is the name of the pattern.
The backstamp (mark) was used in 1950-1959 (c.) www.search.staffspasttrack.org.uk/
You didn't write how many pieces you have. For example the prize for a set of 3-4 Cup & Saucer is $26-30, teapot $42
www.ebay.com/

It appears the mark you're displaying is the earlier mark that was used in the 1950's. The Athena pattern was made in the 50's through 1999 and several marks were used after this crown mark was discontinued.
Athena was the favored pattern bought by restaurants so you will see a lot of different marks that probably represent the dates produced as well as the primary sales target.
You will find many pieces listed online as 'ironstone' but it is true ironstone only if it has that printed on the back. Some pieces will have microwave safe listed also.
I do not know if all of your pieces have the same mark but in checking listings it is rare that all pieces will have the same marks which means each piece is from a different time period as well.
I'm not sure any of this makes any difference in use or value but it is different than any other pattern that I've researched.
Example:
This listing for 5 salad plates has 3 different marks:
www.etsy.com/
You can check out the sold listings on eBay to get an idea of true value and the low number of pieces that are actually selling.

I do not believe it would be a good idea to list as a set but maybe in groups of 4.
How much is my great grandmother's fine china worth? We have 6 saucers and 6 tea cups. The back of the china reads April 1, 1924. The Dresden style. Rosen Thale brand I believe. Can anyone provide insight?
My favorite China connection is called Replacements, LTD. This site has it all. Any fine china, current, or vintage. Your pieces are lovely and for the six pieces regular size cup and saucers are $101.88. If you have the over sized cups and saucer are going for about $45 per set(that's over sized cup and saucer). Go to replacementsltd.com for more future china!
