Anything else like a logo or something like a brand name or even a region?
Is it Gmundner Keramik probably? Google for Austrian ceramic…the design could lead you to the manufacturer

The “watermark” on the back could lead to the producer, if there’s just an “made in..” it’s probably a mass-produced piece and very hard to find a replacement.
I’ll get a picture of the back tomorrow, I think there was something else, a signature maybe?
Ever heard of Kintsugi? Its an art form where they restore broken pottery. Maybe you can find a way to turn this into one of those pieces.
Siebenbürger „gmundner“ Keramik is my guess
My aunt has two similar plates, they were both bought from a potter at a Christmas market (I think the one on Karlsplatz). I don’t remember the exact name of the potter, after a quick google search it could be this guy: https://www.leidl-keramik.at/
the design fits the one on your plate as well. Anyways I am fairly certain it was made by a small pottery that doesn’t ship to wherever you’re from, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for you
At the Fetzenmarkt probably.
I guess you could try to repair it. Structure of the plate looks like it could make the “scars” look less prominent.
You could check at Nanu Nana (its a shoo where you can buy decorations and fun presents)
There are quite a few regional patterns afaik in austria and i’ve seen this one in Carinthia. Somebody could’ve brought it there or it’s actually from this region. Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in there, who knows maybe it helps
Thank you all so much for the replies and pointing me in several places to look. It’s not my plate (I was cleaning a clients house and knocked it off the counter)
I went back today to try to take a picture of the back, but she said she had already thrown it out and to not worry about trying to replace it as she was not attached to it and at 85 years old she’s trying to downsize everything she owns anyway. I feel bad about it though and may get her a Gmundner Keramik plate instead (it’s not the same thing, but kinda close)
