It looks like the Sowerby pattern but I've never seen it in that colour before, maybe reproduction ?

http://www.victorianpressedglass.com/sowerby_coloured_glass.htm has a similar item but with a stand?    I have found fragments of one this colour from a settlement that burnt down in the 1930s.

It certainly looks like Sowerby, I posted the green one below recently. Yours might have the Sowerby peacock mark on the back but not all did. Your photo is a bit small and one of the back would be useful. victorianpressedglass is Mike Tomlin's (MHT) site and he may well see your post and comment.

Thank you Nev, yes it is a Sowerby plate in a colour commonly known as Rubine. As Nev says, there may be a Sowerby mark on the back, although not all were marked.
The plate and stand shown on my site are separate items, the plate is sitting on the stand. This design was made from the late 1870's until possibly the 1930's in a number of colours including carnival. I don't think this pattern ever appeared in any of the known pattern books. The only other Sowerby glass I have seen in this colour dates from around 1910 so maybe this plate was made around this time.

Thank you everyone.   No there is nothing on the back.

I had a pair of these (rubine), both with the stand. I intended to sell them both on eBay. I listed one and it did appallingly. I didn't list the second one, I kept it. Mine had the Sowerby mark. Rather attractive.
