curious as to plates' age and picture significance

smaller plate with darker colours

smaller plate with darker colours

Hello

I have 3 plates like this - same picture but each slightly different: 2 larger ones with minor differences and one smaller with same picture but darker but same tone colours. I bought them over 30 years ago in an antique shop in Virginia, USA and don't believe I was told anything. I wondered if they were Chinese Export Porcelain (not see throughable though) and if the scenes were biblical? Thanks a lot for any info.

For your time. This is useful.

If not translucent, then probably white-glazed earthenware or possibly thin stoneware. The hasty design printing suggests no older than end of first third of 20th century. Possibly English, might have had stickers saying place of origin.

Interesting. It may be printed and that perhaps would account for the varying density of color in the two large plates. There is iridescence which I forgot to say. Any idea who may have made these kind of plates in Europe? Thanks Peter.

Nothing looks Chinese with this. And seems printed.
Could be European ...
