This green colour vine design plate is said to have been made by Bordallo Pinheiro in Portugal. I can't confirm this 100% unfortunately, but with some more research you can find out.
Oh thanks mp , I will look up the name and try to see if I can find anything. Great help.
I don't want to make it difficult for you but somebody else think it is an English decorative plate.

I noticed that the base of my one is different & the 3 points where it has been fired is something to do with antique pottery,but can’t remember, but remember it’s something to look out for in antique hunting
Here Steptoe, they use Firing Stilts for Pottery to separate the greenware during Kiln Firing:

this is a google image search, I hope this helps! Bill :^)
Thanks bill
With the green plate’s design of grape leaves and tendril, I just seems possible or likely that it was meant to serve grapes. (That’s what I would use it for anyway). :^)

Thanks tallcakes for helping, it seems exactly the same, I did think it was antique but wasn’t sure.
