thanks wendy!
ironlord- the bottom of the plate has indentions - they look like 3 little prongs in the shape of a triangle. there are about 4 of these indentions on the bottom..it almost looks like the plate was rested on these 3 prong spokes for it to be fired or however they made them back in the day ill attach pictures of the indentions later today.

I purchased 2 plates from a thrift store. They have scalloped edges-black underglaze. I think they are either transferware or earthenware. They have "asiatic pheasants" in a scroll and the name "R. Hall" on the back on the plate. The size is 10 1/4 inches. From what I read they are circa 1822-1838. Apparently these plates are very rare. I cant find anything about them online except for one article written in the 60's...attached website below
