Subject:Wuestion re indentifying caligraphy meaning
Posted By: Kay Tue, Mar 30, 2021 IP: 85.76.86.3

Would anyone be kind enough to translate this script from the bottom of a plate please?

I have shown it 'both' ways, as am not sure of the correct orientation.

Am I right in thinking that it is Chinese (or is it Japanese)?

Thanks!

The right picture is the correct one.
The mark reads:
Dai 大 Nippon 日本 Hichozan 肥碟山 Shinpo 信甫 Zo 造
= Great Japan made by Hichozan Shinpo.

The Hichozan Shinpo brand was made in the Mikawachi kilns, handpainted in Arita and commissioned by the merchant Tashiro Monzaemon (1816-1900). Monzaemon expanded the market for Japanese Imari products at that time.
The Hichozan products were produced from approximately 1856 onwards till around 1900 and were exclusively made for the Western export market.

Regards,
Martin.
