Antique 1848 Wedgwood England 9.75" Plate COLUMBIA Brown Transferware Ironstone

The platter shows a diamond mark on the back which was used between 1842 and 1867 as UK Registry marks. The "IV" on top of the diamond stands for the material "Ceramics", the letter below here "U" for the year (1848), the letter "R" in the left corner for the month (October) and the number in the right corner of the diamond for the day, here "23". The pattern was registered October 23, 1848.

The pattern shows a river with boats and mountains in the background as well  as old buildings and in the front four persons on a terrace. Framed is the center theme by a foral band with small pictures of a town with towers at a river with bridge. On two sides you find a swirled embossed design which look like handles. The item is not flat but not really deep enough to call it a bowl. Please check photos and measurements.
