Vincent Aicard

I have a 10.5inch scalloped plate in purple transferware, which is decorated with a version of the "Italian Villas" pattern very similar to #05 in the database. Comparing it with another example similar to #05 which I have on hand, this 10.5" plate differs slightly in size, shape, glazing,the stringing on the border, and very minor details of the foliage, whilst the buildings look identical. This plate also has the little round dotted impressed motif in the centre of the base. The title in the cartouche however is "Vincent Aicard".I wondered if anyone has seen this before, and could shed any light on whether it might also be by Joseph Heath & Co. Images are on the link below on Flikr.
