Hi Bruce,

Not Japanese but Chinese.
Certainly not unusual because they still make such ware today and it is sold in warehouses for a few euros.
The pattern is mostly called the rice grain pattern and and they started to make it in the second half of the 19th. century as a kind of revival of the older (late Ming) Linglung pieces.
Because they made/make it for such a long time it is a bit hard to date. Yours is probably transferprinted and not older than the second quarter of the 20th, century. The mark reads "Wanyu".

Regards,

Arjan
