Dear Tony,
I can't tell you much for sure but one thing I can; this is no Satsuma, wich is in fact a kind of earthenware with a crackled surface. I can only try to give it a classification when I move from Japan to China. This lookes like a style witch is called "Qianjiang". A style developed in China in (about) the second half of the 19th century and based on Chinese paintings from old Yuan masters. I can't read them but the black characters and the(kind of) red seal is typical for Qianjiang ware also. Because I am totaly unknown with this ware I can't give you any clue about the age.

best regards,

Arjan
