The dish is stylistically Japanese. Some of the forum's other contributors on Japanese porcelains may be able to tell you more, but it would help to see both sides.

Best regards,

Both links lead to a file with this one image labeled 1 of 1.

Thank you very much. I will try to figure out what is wrong before reposting. My end was showing three different pictures.

Thank you.

This link showed three pictures when I tested it, but am not sure if I am still doing something wrong. Thank you.

I believe you did something right, as the latest link yields three images for me too. Can't say much more, except in my experience, most antique Japanese ceramics have spur marks, kanji markings or both, with kanji marking proliferating with the Meiji period (1868-1912), when exports began to boom. After 1890, exports acquired "Nippon" markings, which were superseded by "Made in Japan" circa 1920.

It's also my understanding that in the early 20th century, U.S. Customs began allowing complete sets of dishes into the country without being individually factory-marked, apparently in crates or perhaps bearing paper labels.

With the preceding in mind, I would guess that your unmarked dish probably is no older than the early 20th century, and possibly much later. Hopefully one of our Japanese contributors will clarify matters for you with greater authority.

Best regards,

Bill H.
