Very good condition.  Stamped on bottom by the Brownhills Pottery Company (B.P. Co.) along with Rd No 69963.  The Rd No. means it was made in the year 1887 in Britain (Table image). Since 1884, the British Patent Office issued a registration number like this when a design or mark was registered.  As this is a British marking it also identifies in a glance that the piece is British. The purpose of this marking was to indicate the design was protected, that any attempt to copy it would lead to legal issues with both the company that registered the design and the government that enforced it.  The B.P. Co. was in business in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England from 1872-1896.
Plate measures 6 1/2" in diameter.  No chips.
