I looked through "Collecting Oyster Plates" by Snyder and found examples of both your plates. The copyright date on the book is 2002. I would take the values given with a huge grain of salt. I would be very surprised if they would sell for anywhere near the BV cited. When I googled "Russian Eagle oyster plate" I did find 3 listings, possible the same plate at different venues, with an asking price of over $1,000 so who know.
I've included a photo of the plates as shown in the book Both plates were in the section "Unidentified"
The first one is identified as "Majolica 'Russian Imperial Eagle' oyster plate, unmarked, 9" x 7" Courtesy of Camelot Antiques, Ltd. $955 -$1,095"
The 2nd one is styled after a glass plate produced by Moser. It is described as "Moser-stye glass oyster plate, unidentified 10" x 7" Courtesy of Camelot Antiques, Ltd. $495-545" Although the description says glass, I do believe it is ceramic, possibly porcelain.
