Provencial Line “Lunch Hour” Plate with flower and names

Question:
I am trying to get any information at all about this piece. This is what I know about it. I was told it is Red Wing Pottery. It must have belonged to my Grandmother because her name is on the back (Sabina Rose). I believe she worked for the company in Red Wing, Minnesota but I can’t verify that either. The names were signed on it, her name was placed on the back and then it was fired. Any information that you can give me on this piece would be appreciated. Thank You! Debbi
