It is a 14 inch platter that was hand painted not by the factory. Rowe was probably the home artist that painted it in 1887.
You can check out the backmark page-
www.havilandonline.com/backmark.htm to get the dates for H&Co over L -1876-1889
Many home artists painted whiteware that Haviland sold. If it was factory painted (two factory marks), it typeically would be more valuable.
Just enjoy.
