Wedgewood and Company Semi Royal Porcelain Dinner Platter

Description

This platter was given to me as a gift 30 years ago from a friend who was an antique dealer.  She bought this on a buying trip to England.  It is a Wedgewood and Company Grey/White Unknown Floral Pattern Dinner Platter.  The mark dates it to about 1890-1900.  I have been unable to identify the pattern.  The closest I could come to was "Burlington Grey".  Any information on the pattern and the value of this platter would be appreciated.  Any information on "ELSIE R" would also be appreciated.  It is a favorite of mine and I would like to know whether to put it in the display only category or to continue to use it as I have been for family dinners.

Elsie is the name of the pattern, the platter itself post dates 1891, similar platters now sell at aucdtion for less than $200.00. Here's a link about the company:

Hate to contradict Lovejoy, but I think its a pattern called "Violet" of the Royal Wedgewwod range

I have two lovely serving dishes with lids of the same pattern that were a wedding present to my Grandmother in 1913
