Dinner plate, white earthenware, with scalloped rim, decorated with an underglaze turquoise-blue printed stag, one of the 'Landseer' series of designs; back, impressed date mark and printed factory mark, pattern name and registered design mark with encoded date of 10th June 1875, made by William Brownfield and Son, Cobridge, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, 1875+ (1888)
the pattern name probably refers to Sir Edwin Landseer, the great 19th century painter of animal subjects; in this case there are strong hints of his 'Monarch of the Glen' of 1851
