The bottom is stamped "Wedgwood pearl" and has a diamond mark. I'm curious as to the date of manufacture. From what I understand on the internet, I think the date would be determined by the number on the right corner of the diamond, but unfortunately it wasn't pressed in hard enough. An estimate would be good enough for me.
The diamond mark ended in 1883, and the number 5 in the bottom corner probably relates to month, so this probably dates from between 1868-1883.
I believe there were two types of lozenge, yours with a letter in the left corner indicates the one covering 1842-67. I think it's the month letter K for November. From the top the mark in the circle should be the Roman numerals IV for ceramic ware. Below it is what could be an N for 1864 or possibly an M 1859 or H 1843. The number 5 at the bottom shows the number of items in the registration. I think I've got this right, if you look up Registered Design Lozenges there are several websites to check.
