I need help to identify this bowl/planter that I picked up at a thrift store in town. I think it is Satsuma but not sure what era it comes from.

I will post better pics of the signature later today, I realize it is very small and I tried to post better pics but had some problems with my computer when posting the first ones.

Here is a better pic of the signature on the bottom, I hope this helps.

This vase is modern but still could be made by a Satsuma company. The crackling is done artificially for artistic reasons and is not due to age. I cannot read the stamped mark. The colors and designs are definitely Satsuma, just not antique Satsuma. Maybe someone else would have an idea of the mark. Good luck.

Hi all,

Sorry Garrett but I can't find any reason to label it as modern. This is a Hododa (or Hotoda) piece and I would date it as Meiji.

Thank you for your response Arjan, I picked it up for $10.00 and I feel in love with it. Do you happen to know what it may be worth?

Hi Jennifer,

I'm not that good in "values" but $10 is realy a bargain.

Regards,

Arjan

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it. I really love this piece and I have learned alot about satsuma pottery it has been quite an adventure for me as well. Thank you again for all your help.
