I inherited these from my mom, who got them from her mom. I don't have any use for them, but also don't want to chuck them in the charity bin. Any idea if there is a market for them? I have 8 plates and four of the little bowls.

Crown china is not a valuable pattern but it seems to be selling okay - china is usually not a fast seller in any brand.
Staffordshire is a series and has many patterns.
Your pattern is CRS81 but not to be confused with a similar pattern; A807.
These patterns are very similar - white with scalloped/fluted and gold trim.
CRS81 was made after 1906.
Your set is called snack/luncheon sets but most all sets have cups where yours has a bowl.
This may make your set more valuable as I could not find this bowl on any site.

This is a similar set but cups and not bowls:

eBay shows some sold listings so you can see what people are willing to pay.

I believe you could list your set with a starting price of $75 - $100 and offer best offer plus shipping. Lower the price if necessary
List it on any of the popular sites - especially Facebook Marketplace.
You will need good pictures and not the plate you have here but one that shows a clean picture of the marking.
Be very careful with packing and shipping as these are very fragile.
I have a feeling this is a married set--can you show the bowl?
By married set, I mean the original cup broke and it was replaced with a sherbet bowl or dip/crudité bowl from a similar set.
The CRS81 (to my knowledge) was only sold with a cup, not a bowl.
The plates are selling (ASKING PRICE) (not seen them sold, but people asking) 9.99 plus shipping.
If I saw the bowl from the side and the bottom, I may be able to offer additional info.
Thanks for sharing!! Lost are the days when there were ladies who lunched with these fine pieces!! Sad!!
I agree with what Pghgirl says about the set being made with just a cup and plate as it was used as an item to be held in your hands where you could hold the plate and pick up the cup with your other hand. These were usually small luncheons where guests were seated in chairs or sofas and maybe only coffee tables or side tables were available.
It seems the bowl may have been for fresh fruit and may actually go with what other plates are in this set of 8.
It's possible the bowls will be more valuable if sold separately and not with the luncheon plates.
A good place to list items like this is on Etsy or Rubylane.
I found some pieces of this china , not exact,
but gives you pricing ideas , to help you decide if you want to part with them. You could put yours on the market for someone who is missing pieces or to complete a collection.

It sounds like you don't have a complete set if you are saying that you only have 4 bowls and 8 plates. I would suggest that you might try to sell this off as replacement pieces and not a complete set of china. If I am wrong and you do have the full set this can be even better. The bowls you have are very unusual and I am not finding them anywhere online. This could actually help to sell your set a bit faster. Just keep in mind China does sell but it will take a very long time to sell this off.
Oh my goodness, this is beautiful! I really want to start a collection, but I don't have room! I looked on Amazon and a cup and saucer was listed for 5
$50.00 plus $5.00 shipping!
I am sure you could get a great price for all of them!
Have a wonderful day!
