Leaf Shaped Plate with vein, circle mark

[chonji]

Hi all,

Any thoughts on this makers mark?

Its on a leaf shaped decorative shallow plate



heres the plate, its actually a pale blue, not white:



Thanks for any info, I have drawn a blank on this!

I have it suggested theat this is the mark of William Gordon of the Walton Pottery Chesterfield England, does anybody have any other images or links to the mark based on this info? It certainly fits some of the designs I have seen for the plate but i cannot get an image of the mark.

Thanks!
