I bought this dish and I could not even classify it, I would like some help.

Kyo-yaki plate made by Takahashi Dohachi kiln, Awataguchi, Kyoto, mainly for export,early 20th century. The hand painted mark on the back reads, Shofutei-sei. Shofutei( Shohutei) was one of Dohachi kiln's fictitious name used by the family kiln.

Hi Sergio,

Still unanswered so I give it a try but don't have any idea what you know about it. Anyway your dish is Japanese and I would classify it (if that's what you mean) as Imari porcelain. Sorry I can't help you with the mark (last character is Sei or made in English). My guess for a dating would be; Meiji periode (late 19th century?) I hope my reaction triggers others to give their opinions as well.

regards,

Arjan

Thanks to all for the helpful answers.
