Is there a character impressed?

[peterp]

These plates were used by common people, usually late Qing to republic period. The bottom is normally unglazed and there is no mark. The characters pricked in the glaze are not marks. See "Marks" section of main site for details.

[Pablo82]

So the pricked character in the glaze could be referred to an owner's name?

[peterp]

Owner's marking. Sometimes it is not a real existing, legible character. Often it is not a name.

Thank you Peter.
