The pictorial mark on one plate is from the 19th century, I think. The underside decoration of both look like nothing I have seen. I wonder if these are unfinished pieces, which should have had some additional on-glaze decoration?

Thank you Peter for the information.
If they are unfinished they must be from the same period.
Thanks again.

Hi Peter,
I think you are correct the decoration is rough to the touch with no glaze over it.
