Willow legend 9 3/4" plate gold engraving on clear glass

In our family search for lovely blue Willow ware, my partner came home with this plate. I am honestly stumped. It doesn't have a makers Mark on it which doesn't help. It is just so vexing as to what it is. I'll attach a picture to this to see it. If I am understanding patterns correctly, this is a "Willow legends" pattern vs a blue Willow pattern. The edge has a scalloped raised pattern in the glass. Hard to capture in a picture, but you can feel the raised diamond pattern. The engraving on the center looks like gold leaf or gold inlay on top of the glass. You can feel the edges of the inlay, so it maybe that they added the leaf to an embossed layer or etched the glass and then applied the leaf. I am really curious if you all have seen any plates like this in the past? If you have any ideas about who might have made this piece or age I would love it.
