Hi there and welcome to the forum !! I searched to see if this had a pattern name and found nothing !! Johnson brothers did not name all patterns and many other mfrs were the same !!  They made hundreds of patterns !! They made most things in a series and from what I can see this pattern was included in the Victorian line of dinnerware which has many patterns !! The link has some of the named patterns as well as some of the series names !!  For instance "Old English" is a line that includes many patterns !! You have to search each one to see if it is a named pattern !! The mark on your set dates it to after 1913 !!  They used several different marks !!  Almost impossible to guess exactly what years each pattern or line was produced !!  As to the gold mark it has little importance to the set !! These were all transfer wares and many of the workers who applied the transfers were paid by piecework !! Each had their own mark so they could be paid correctly !! Some used initials some used a number or as yours simply a mark !! I found many different gold marks within this line !! Hope this answere a few of your questions !!
