EXCEPTIONAL JAPANESE SATSUMA PLATE. FINELY DETAILED AND WELL PAINTED. THIS PLATE WAS DONE BY ONE OF THE TOP MAKERS. THERE IS A MARK ON THE BACK BUT MOST OF IT IS UNREADABLE. I CAN MAKE OUT THE SATSUMA MUN. I AM SURE SOME ONE WOULD KNOW THE PATTERN. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE KINKOZAN. IT MEASURES 8 1/2 INCHES WIDE. NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. I SEE ONE DOT MISSING TOWARD THE RIM OF THE PLATE. A GREAT HIGH QUILITY PIECE TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION. . GOOD LUCK offerDING. GOD BLESS.
