This is a choice souvenir china plate as it is a good early piece and quite the attractive piece as well.  Note that the
backside has the 'Germany
' pottery mark
which is
exactly what antique dealer's look for to authenticate a piece like this as being truly antique,
as back in this time period of souvenir china
(late 1800's - early 1900's) Germany was the place that was producing this quality antique china.
Old advertising china pieces like this are always in demand as
1) they have advertising on them or something that identifies them with a certain place,
2) have colorful scenes, pictures, designs, logos on them,
3) are easy to authenticate when they have the mark stamped on back.
Note that the back side of this plate reads, "Manufactured expressly / for W.L. Black / Oregon City". This was the business that had this plate made and advertise their company. If you looked into an old Polk City Directory from the Oregon City area back around 1900 you could find out who W. L. Black was and in the process, date this plate and help document its place in history.
What is exceptionally nice about this one is that it has a beautiful detailed picture of Mount Hood with a lake in the foreground.  All of this together make for a great old relic from Pioneer Oregon, over 100 years ago,
