Hi Demaris,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Royal Doulton tableware is renowned for its elegant and timeless designs, featuring porcelain and bone china in a wide variety of eye-catching and stylish patterns. Established in 1815, the British brand is celebrated for its high-quality craftsmanship, offering everything from dinner sets to serving ware. Their products blend tradition with modern aesthetics, making them a dining staple worldwide.
In the current market, bone china ranks below porcelain in terms of desirability; additionally, collectors are looking more closely for large sets with an equal number of place settings. For large and evenly matched services, one would expect to $5-10 per piece. However, in the case of THIS service, the fact you have a small and uneven number of pieces works works against its value...other similarly sized and unevenly numbered services bring closer to $2-4 per piece.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
