Strange impressed marks on Wedgwood plates

[quirkycool]

Any ideas what two impressed marks on two old Wedgwood plates might signify please.
They look like either a V, L or arrow head shape with a dot inbetween the two lines and appear just above the impressed WEDGWOOD mark. 
Many thanks 🙂

The V represents the date year and is either1867 or 1893 on early pieces usually with a month letter up to 1907. If after 1907 then a number will be impressed followed by the letter V representing July ( the month letter system changed in 1907)

Thanks very much 😉
Here's an image of the mark.  There's another curious mark impressed underneath Wedgwood which looks like it might be a letter Y, but can't be sure.
Also included, a pic. of the actual plates which I think have a transfer print.  The plates are quite yellowish with a blue tint showing through.  Any ideas what these are called please?

Hi,

I don't know the pattern but these plates were manufacured in April 1870. As the word England doesn't appear the Y must be before 1891 and the arrows are in fact the letter A for April.

I hope that helps.

Cheers
