    From the latest clearance.

    Usually when I get old plates they are cracked or chipped, these three are undamaged but needed a good wash as they were black with soot.

    #1 Is a blue & white, 11 inches across, a sandwich serving plate I believe, the mark says Surrey B & S.

    #2 is a large meat plate, 18 inches across.
    part of the mark has worn off, on the half moon is it "& SONS" or "MASONS"

    #3 is also a large meat plate, faded blue & white 18 inches across, I don't recognise the mark at all and cannot read it.

    Basically I want to know if they are worth hanging onto or are they charity donations.

    1 is Bishop and Stonier. Surrey is the pattern name.

    2 is George Jones. That's &sons.

    I can't see 3 well enough. PS something?

    Not massive value, the Jones is the best one because of the maker.

    I like the meat platter the best, faded transfer and all.

    None is particularly valuable and all are possibly Edwardian rather than Victorian

    A number of manufacturers made variations of the flowery pattern which was called "Asiatic Pheasants", it was very pretty and I have a couple of bowls in my kitchen. I don't think your platter is faded, there are a number of Burgess and Leigh pieces on sale on ebay and they are are all quite pale, including an unused platter for $50.
    If you are keen on finding old bits of English china, you should find the website for the Staffordshire potteries very useful - www.thepotteries.org. You can search by inititials, and find short biographies of many potteries, including the dates and marks, which I've found very useful over the years. Good hunting!

    Thank you all for your help and advice.

    There may be more plates, when I get to them.
