It says "Nine Valleys", a.k.a. "Kutani", the region where your Japanese dish was made. Too bad nobody gets to see how pretty it may be or even whether it is antique. :(

Oh thanks so much Bill! I will post a photo asap! It does appear to be old and quite beautifully painted. Thanks again so much for your quick reply!!

Hello - this is the current signature of Kutani -1970-2000 +
I wanted to add a picture but it is in png and I can not change to jpg so I give you a link where you will find this sign - I greet very warmly!
