Subject:Re: Yellow Charger Plate w/ Green Dragon & Phoenix
Posted By: Martin Michels Fri, May 12, 2017
The mark says: Fukagawa 深川 Sei 製 (Made by Fukagawa) and this is a mark of the Fukagawa Seiji company, founded in 1894 by Chuji Fukagawa (1871-1934).
The company exported a porcelain ware to Europe and America that was highly prized through the world fairs.
The mark is Mount Fuji and a Stream with a Fukagawa signature under the mount, or just Mount Fuji without a name.
This mark is used till far in the 20th century and beyond.
On the front a dragon and phoenix, representing the emperor and empress. Unfortunately I have no idea how old this charger is.
Regards,
Martin.
