Re: Japanese ? Imari Makers mark

I do recognize the impressed mark on your porcelain plate. It's a Japanese ceramic work shop mark who were in the business of providing blank porcelain and pottery vessels or pieces to other Japanese companies, who finished them and then were sold or exported for sale.
Dating is late 19th-early 20th. Some porcelain Nippon ware used these blanks, the Royal Nishiki Nippon Company for instance, active before 1920s.
I also own a small collection of decorative pottery vases from 1900?, heavily glazed in green and dark yellow enamels, with silver overlay dragons, with the same impressed mark in an oval. No other identification.
Sandra Andacht on the gotheborg site might be able to help. She knows the name of this company, which I have forgotten.
