does anybody know anything about royal worcester bone china?
i have a 4 inch rimmed plate , flowered pattern , on the back of the plate there is a crown and number 51. is it worth anything?
Google’s a good idea. Also, have a look on ebay. There are quite a number of Royal Worcester items on sale there. One might match your pattern. Ebay would, of course, give you resale prices, more closely addressing you query on sale value of your item, tham would a listing of retail prices.
It’s called china because the best early porcelin seen in Europe came from China. The Chinese invented the technique of mixing bone ground to a powder into the clay. This made the porcelin harder and, so, allowed it to be elegantly thin. From this derives the name bone china.

Royal Worcester (in Worcester) have a museum – you could contact them for info about the history of the plate.
That might give you a good idea about the real value before looking to see what someone might offer.
If it is a rare item, it might well go to auction.

Suggestions have already been made i.e. google Royal Worcester website, E-bay etc., but do you have a local auctioneers & valuers who have valuation days ? They usually charge a small fee (or sometimes it’s free) and the valuer will tell you the date of manufacture, the pattern name and approximate value.
Good luck in your research !
