V I V Λ O I or VIVIIOI?.
I first thought the incised marks on the back of the "plate" read: 'VIV IIOI'.
I took these to be "Roman numerals" which could be read as either; 54, 2, 1 or 65, 2, 1.
Or translated into my understanding: 1st February 1954 or 1st February 1965.
Initially I believed one of these readings to be the date on which the plate was first glazed.
