Hi Eleanore,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

These are lovely plates- elegant despite their lack of color; I can tell that you've taken quite good care of them.

These plates are not particularly rare, and when other examples have come up for sale at auction, a set this size usually sells for between $200 and $300.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A set of 8 Mintons Staffordshire Salt Glazed dinner plates
made in England, bearing the date mark in use from circa 1912 to 1950
With shaped rim and raised bas-relief foliate decoration, marked underneath.
9-1/2 inches diameter
CONDITION: Reportedly in good condition; with one small chip.
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$200-300 for the set*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
