Your plate was made for Mortlocks by Worcester porcelain, the marking dates 1876-1891, the letter below the stamp is a date code letter, for 1889. The pattern is called "Royal Lily", the plates sell for about $90.00 each.

I think this mark is earlier than that. see: http://www.antique-marks.com/royal-worcester-marks.html
After 1876 the crown sits down onto the circle this one is perched on top with no date dots.
Re: Mortlock's Oxford St. Orchard St. London .... 51
From what I can see in the image the crown is sitting down on the circle. Worcester used a date letter /number code code from 1867-1877, dropping the numbers completely after 1877. The date letter "O" is for 1889.
