a really good place to look up values is the website replacements.com. they have an extensive listing for china patterns. once you find yours, check out what they are asking for it... and then cut that down by half or a third and thats probably what you can get for it on ebay or some other sales site. replacements is very pricey... but they carry only the choicest pieces in mint condition. they might even buy yours from you. they offered on mine but i refused as they wanted to pay 5 dollars (and thats VERY high for them) each for some teacups valued at 30 dollars.plus YOU have to pay shipping. it just wasnt worth it. hope this helps and good luck!
Replacements.com is a good reference but poor search quality of the site. As an example, the picture for yellowstone medievel rose Y80 of Homer Laughlin is not listed, and then there is the mis-identification of other items as well.
As a MCSD I build websites and their search technology is as old s their dishes. It was built low bandwidth and has low quality pictures and does not have the backstamps.
I'm working on databases daily and think that Bling Microsoft's new search engine will probably eclipse them in a year or so as it will know the difference between Postage Stamp and China Backstamp soon and deliver meta content analysis for research.
I have bought from Replacements and can attest to their quality, but I look at their technology base and see it as outdated and eroding unless they decide to do something about it.
I identify more items via Ebay with their search capabilities and superior images
