Inscription on the bottom,
シシリアさん江 -Sisiria- san e - To Mrs (Mr) Sisiria (Cecilia ?)
1970.5
元治      - ( from) Genji (or Motoharu)
トキエ    - ( and) Tokie

Marking, 陽堂   - Yōdō 

Your plate is a so-called Kamakura-bori (carved lacquer ware) Yōdō is the name of the maker shop in
Kamakura.

With regards,
I.Nagy
