Wallis Gimson Plate

Description

I have a plate which I believe to be by Wallis Gimson & Co. Part of the maker's mark appears to be missing, so I'm not 100% sure. The plate is heavily crazed and has an approx. 1.5" crack. I have not been able to find this plate elsewhere, although I have found other plates/patterns by Wallis Gimson that have the Bloom pattern marking. Does the maker's mark defect add to or detract from the plate's value? What would your overall approximation of value be?
