ML Smith Hand Painted Dishes

I've been trying to find out how much these may be worth. I have some dishes, a teapot and other items all signed with Smith, ML Smith or perhaps Mary Lewise Smith? You can see the full name written on the bottom on one of the pictures. I have found similar items that were painted by different artist's but I haven't found much information on this artist.
