This is the closest match of gold pattern I have come across to your cup and saucer. This is pattern was used by the Royal Staffordshire maker in England. Usually, their name would be on the china too where yours states Made in England. Perhaps it is an agreed and shared thing done, I really don't know.

The more gold used, the higher the price is on a piece of china as is the quality taken into consideration. This piece is dated 1950s if that can give you any idea of mfg. of gold pattern used.

This shaving mug has a bottom marking which says only "Germany" (not "made in Germany"), with the number "15" in the center

The mug owner wrote "the fact that is says "Germany" and not "made in..." is significant, and makes it an older mug."
"it could date as early as 1880, but certainly before 1918 (based on the "Germany" only marking)" www.collectorsweekly.com/.../208995-vintage-german-shaving-mug...

Due to the tremendous influx of fine china over the past several years the market is in a distressed place and value is low for almost every brand/pattern/age.

We're seeing so many families downsizing and this is one of the first items to hit the dust as most families rarely used/use their fine china.
A flooded market always reduces the value of items and along with that, it just isn't popular anymore.
The trend is for simple. microwavable, inexpensive dishes, or even mismatched ones found at thrift stores/yard sales.

Your pattern appears to have been made between 1918 to
1933. No exact year would be noted as the marks are the same for those years.
An appraiser valued a large set at $700 to $850 in 2020 but that would be insurance value. The retail value would have been at least 20-30% less.

A 28-piece set sold for $22 in 2020.

Value can only be found when there is a comparable item sold as the sold price shows what someone was willing to pay.

It looks like your set has several nice bowls with lids and platters; these are always more popular than other pieces. You could probably get your money back, plus extra if you sold the accessories separately.

Replacements.Com only has a few pieces of this pattern and these have been reduced which usually means it is not selling and they will not carry it once these pieces are gone.
They place the age of this pattern at 1921-.
www.replacements.com/.../69665

You can find your china's mark on this site and dates show 1918 -.
www.theoldstuff.com/.../201-noritake-marks

What you paid for your set could be considered the value of your set in your area although the real value may be more.
I hope you like your set and use it often.

The site replacements.com says that the pattern Vintonia by NORITAKE is discontinued, circa 1921 -

www.replacements.com/.../69665

I found information about the stamp:

"Most back stamps after 1921 state "Japan" or "Made in Japan." From the early 1920 and probably until 1940 most if not all US market patterns were designed in New York. Marks with US Design Patent Pending probably dates to this period, to whatever effect it might have had to stop other Japanese companies to copy the modern and successful Noritake designs."

gotheborg.com/.../noritake.shtml#:~:text=In%201910....

Another site says that this stamp dates from 1921-1924
"Red & Yellow 1921/24 Noritake M 'MIJ'" (see 1920's)

www.noritakecollectorsguild.info/.../

This site also says that the stamp dates from 1921-1924
"Red / yellow Noritake mark
Noritake M Made in Japan Elysian 1921 - 1924 mark."

www.theoldstuff.com/.../201-noritake-marks

Your set was made in the period 1921-1924.

It is impossible to find such a large Noritake set with the same pattern on sale. Therefore, be guided by prices for Noritake sets of the same period - 1920s. For example, I found 1920s Antique Noritake Majestic Dinnerware Set - 70 Pieces at $650

www.ebay.com/.../265222483803

83pc Noritake Romance Set Dinner Plates Platter Covered Dish Gravy Boat Japan at $849.95

tamarackshackantiques.com/.../

1920s Noritake Alicia Floral China Service for 8 Dinnerware Set - 56 Piece at $1,500 

www.chairish.com/.../1920s-noritake-alicia-china-service...

But I think it's overpriced.
The price for which you can actually sell such a set is much lower.

Noritake china: wildfleur circa 1920's was sold for $40 

www.varagesale.com/.../hkt465m4-noritake-china-wildfleur...

I would start on the high end $500-600 (I do not know how many pieces you have) and then negotiate down.

It looks like there may be several different styles of the Briar Rose pattern but it appears that your set is slightly square-shaped.
this round-shaped set is listed for sale on eBay for $39.95.
However, this set has been listed for sale since 7/2018 - that equates to almost 4 years and it has not sold. Is the price too high or is this not a very popular item?
www.ebay.com/.../132400915484

The following listing has only been for sale a short time and has a similarly shaped bottom but not the same marking as your set.
This is listed at a higher price but you could place a watch on this listing to see if it sells.
www.ebay.com/.../354070033179?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM...

Here is another similar set (different markings) that also has a tray and the asking price is $35. This set has only been listed for about 8 months.
www.ebay.com/.../274840214596?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM...

I can only show the sets listed for sale as there have been no sold sets listed on eBay for several months.
You could list your set for sale at a higher price and see if you receive any offers. If no offers then you may have to lower the price, but, as you can see, this type of item is a very slow seller.
