Hi Charles,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Crown Ducal “Florentine” dinnerware is a highly recognizable transferware pattern introduced in the early 20th century, featuring ornate chinoiserie scenes, dragons, and scrolling foliage. Produced by A. G. Richardson & Co. in England, it became especially popular from the 1910s through the 1930s. Key points: it was made in multiple colors (notably orange, black, and green), is durable ironstone/earthenware, and was widely exported. Collectors value complete sets, unusual forms, and strong color. While not rare, it has steady decorative appeal and a loyal following in vintage tableware markets.
The "Rosalie" pattern was introduced in the early 1930s - different accounts I've found date it to either 1932 or 1933 - and while I can't find out when production was discontinued, it became one of the more enduring floral patterns used on Crown Ducal’s Florentine wares.
Typically, when Crown Ducal Florentine services come to auction, they typically sell for an average of $3-5 per piece; note that this is quite a bit less than what retailers like Replacements can ask for pieces they are offering.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

Happy to walk you through this!
Can you measure the diameters of round plates and list how many you have by size? Same for round bowls?
I can tell from the photo how many cups, platters and oval or oversized bowls are in the set so you don't need to include those.
In looking at the photo, it looks like you have two different sets - one called 'Rosalie' (that has a textured rim and floral decoration) and another pattern called 'Golden Glamour' with just a gilt banding. It would be helpful if you could identify which pieces are in which pattern.
Thanks!
Thanks for the additional photos, Charles.
The piece count based on your photos only came to 105 pieces (lids are not counted separately) so I'm not sure how I'm so far off from the 120 pieces you noted this service to include.
Let me know which pieces need to be added and I'll update this appraisal accordingly.
Thanks,
Delia
As a guy I have no idea what to call all these pieces. They are all dinnerware to me. Can you tell from the photos what you need or educate me on how to identify each piece. The quantities of each piece vary from 1 to twelve.
