i found out that the design on the plate called- Asiatic Pheasants transfer printed china pattern. But what does number 17 means?

Looks like Staffordshire pottery to me. 17 will be a miscellaneous factory mark - no real relevance in this case.

Ipcress, maybe you could give me some hints as to the "date and maker" of this platter which I still don't have a clue as to its origin.  :'( :'(
