I noticed these plates from the same seller. Then I noticed that, when carefully looking at them as instructed by the seller because the photos form part of the descriptions,  the crescent mark, a burst glaze bubble, a trailing blue splodge and an edge crack are placed in relation to each other in the same way on both plates. I think the plates are one plate. What is going on?

Looking at the links posted- I think you are correct.
Benefit of doubt to the seller? used the same photos in error?

The photos are not the same, not quite the same angles or distances or cropping.

It could be someone even more muddled than me (they must exist) but you'ld think they'ld notice they had listed a First Period Worcester plate twice unless they have a lot of them which is possible as they seem to deal in Early Worcester.

I wonder whether the seller has an assistant who has worked with a file of photos and not realised these seemingly different plates were the same one.

It is against eBay rules to list the same article twice; the possible headaches it could cause are obvious.

Hopefully it's just an oversight, and nothing untoward. If listing a lot of items and say on average 5-6 photos per item, just saying?
Have you contacted the seller?
