Subject:Beautiful piece of pottery Kinkozan Satsuma ???

I think that is Kinkozan pottery. If I'm wrong I would appreciate any advice Please :-)

The mark reads down and across from the right as "Imperial Japan, Made by Matsura" (大日本, 松浦造 - Dai Nippon, Matsura Zo). Matsura was the clan name of the feudal lords who ruled over the Hirado fiefdom, though what you show is not the famous blue & white porcelain associated with that area.

This mark has heretofore been a subject of forum discussion. See the link to view the pottery, although the photo of the mark has been pulled.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Although has the ceramic and glaze of a piece of satsuma the decoration quality is very lacking...I would say last 50 years in satsuma style
