I have a Mappin and Webb Princes Plate double shell dish with beautiful intricate grape and vine handle. Rd. 71553
Can you tell me anything about it and if it has any value please

Design registration number 71553 was issued in 1887 which seems far too early for Prince’s Plate. Are you sure you have read it correctly?
Your dish will have some value, although as it is electroplate, it won’t be anything like an equivalent in solid silver. Have a look at Ebay’s “Sold” pieces to see if you can find something vaguely similar. The price paid there is always, for me anyway, a realistic indication of value.
