Hi Shannon,
There were no pictures, but this is what I found about Koshida on the net:
Koshida is a family kiln / company, rather than artist name.
Koshida seems to have been a prolific maker of Satsuma from at least the 1880's. Much of their production was decorated by some of the best artists and bears their marks as well as Koshida's. Koshida would have closed about the same time as the Kinkozan factory, circa 1927.
The business seems to have reopened post Worldwar II, either by a family member or by someone simply using a well known name as a cachet. The first periode after the reopening (circa 1950) the marks looked like the early ones. Modern Koshida wares are marked with the Kanji marks from left to right and or the Koshida name in Western writing.
Regards,
Martin.
