    These are ~7 3/4" diameter, ~3/4" high; foot rim is ~4". Weight, each, is 8.64 & 9.12 oz. The glaze color of the one on the left is slightly darker than the other.
    I don't know enough about Majolica to say with certainty that these are...but don't know what else to call them. Both of the back marks (12) are impressed. Both plates are slightly wobbly on a flat surface.

    I have 4 others, of varied colors an' patterns; 3 with one mark, 1 with another. They'll be posted immediately following this.
    Please favor me with your opinions of origin region, maker, pattern an' age of this lovely pair...an' Thanks for lookin'!

    They have the three stilt marks on the back and crackling that is NOT from a dishwasher. I'd be thinking if they're not 100 year old yet, they're not far off. No idea whodunnit or where though. Someone who knows pottery will be along shortly.

    Lovely plates. Lots of similar search results but mainly referred to as just 'majolica' and geranium pattern... As you probably know. One reference to wedgwood but doubtful as they almost always marked their wares. Thanks for sharing.

    Have you tried them on a wobbly surface?

    I think I found it, or at least the same pattern/design.

    J. Adams & Co.

    Not all were marked on the back with J. Adams imprint.

    The pattern is similar, but not the same...sigh.
    If they were J. Adams I'd list 'em in a heartbeat.

    Without clear ID, 'tho...I like them well enough to keep an' use. I claim a bit o' Irish in me blood; an' the color is Kelly green, ain't it? How many excuses does a fella need?

    Well, no...not yet. Methinks it would have to be just the right wobbly surface, y'see...t'match at least one of the plates so it'd sit without, uh...wobbling?
    I may get a round Tuit.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    That jogged my memory of which plant this is. Thanks! Those are nice plates, @wlwhittier .
