The only marking is a set of numbers with a letter in gold on the back. Any ideas? I found this in my cupboard at home and can't figure it out (also found a set of Russel Wright in the cupboard).

This is "Peach Blossom" by W.S. George. Depending on the size, Peplacements Ltd will pay 11/13/19 dollars.

Sanmar, you are GOOD.
The platter is very pretty. I'm keying into your "Russel Wright" comment. I'd love to see what pattern you have in his things.

The Russel Wright is just his pink (kind of corally pink) stuff. I have almost a full set. I found out from my boyfriend that an elderly lady gave the set to him for fixing her bathroom. Nice payment. . .to me anyway. He wasn't too crazy about it.

Lucy, how can you be lonely now that you have such a big family? I saw the pics of the wedding when I got caught up here the other night. It was truly a colorful pageant and your second dress was beautiful too. Enjoy the new family!

Are you going to list your Russel Wright? Reason I ask is I see there are a LOT of auctions for Russell (two L's) Wright. If you have room might be a good plan to put the mis-spelling in the title.
Like that Davy-Davey Crocket-Crockett clothes hanger we saw on here several months back.

Lucy...Is that anything like the omlet omelette pan I listed? By all means, put all possible common spellings in the title. Remember, millionaire tycoons that can place the big bids don't have to learn to spell. They have secretaries that take care of that. When they get home and surf Ebay, they're on their own and lost. You have to help them along

Exactly, Sparkz. Omelet, Omlet, Omelette... When I research prior to listing I try whatever different spellings I can come up with and pick the "best" ones for my keywords.
I think the title is more important than the description but if I don't have room for the mis-spellings I put them in the description. Keyword lists on ViewTracker do show a lot of people tracking title AND description on the more obscure items.

Cheryl: I'd say the R. Wright set was a good payment for your boyfriend's work! Are you keeping it or selling it? I've never gotten too excited over his work, but there sure are collectors out there.
