Re: Info on Antique Saucer Age, Pattern and Inscription Needed

The mark reads down and across from the right in two stacks as "Made by Zoshuntei Sampo" (Zoshuntei Sampo Zo). This was a well known studio that painted Arita (formerly "Hizen") ceramics circa the late 19th century. I tend to believe your dish may be a stand for larger vase, planter or censer, among other possibilities. Its decoration is rather tame compared the usual items I've seen from the Meiji period with this mark. Here's a piece bearing the signature in its usual red color. It has a bronze collar and is missing its cover. The elevated feet suggest it may have been a censer.

Also please see the link for the auction result of a large floor vase by this studio.

Best regards,

Bill H.
