I was wondering if anyone could tell me what type of plate this is and if it is old and priceless. thanks

The mark, shown upside down, reads down and across from the right as "Hizen, Arita, Shiroiwa". Hizen is the old province around Arita, a town historically associated with Japanese porcelain production. Shiroiwa is the kiln that made the plate. This is probably a late 20th century dish, although the kiln seems to have been in operation much longer. Here's a link to an earlier thread with further information.

Best regards,

Bill H.
