Subject:Re: Signature on Imari plate

Guy,
Thanks for your contribution. All parts help.
I looked at the Rubylane item and indeed they translate the mark (see picture) as 勢州窯 太豊堂 作 = Seishu Gama Taihodo Saku.
However on the site of "Modern Japanese Pottery and Porcelain marks" I found the same plate and mark, but they translate the mark as: 勢州窯 太楽老 作 = Seishu Gama Tairakuro (?) Saku.
See this link:

But how reliable is Rubylane? I found another of their items and they believe the mark is Seishu Gama, but the mark is totally different from the one here. Plus the text is LOL, quote: " I believe it is the mark for Seishu-gama or the Seishu family kiln in Taihodo-saku, but will need to confirm".
How do they came up with that: "Seishu family kiln in Taihodo-saku".

Anyway, this is what this forum is meant for, discussing and helping each other.
Thanks a lot and curious for your reply. No disrespect.
Regards,
Martin.
