Cloisonne Enameled Tray, Chinese Signature...

I'm kind of kicking myself for passing this piece up, which is now a several hours drive away from my home. Part of the reason I passed it up is because it had a rectanglar shaped sticker residue mark on the bottom (which I thought had been from a modern label). Anyways since then, I am now trying to research it to determine the maker and age. The signature to art work alone should have told me that it isn't a mass produced piece. I believe the signature is Chinese and the technique used in making this piece is called "wireless cloisonne". I had never heard of wireless cloisonne before starting my research. Any help with translating this mark or determining the age is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe

 

It looks like a Japanese girl playing a yokobue, and I'd say it was enamel painted and fired on white enamel, in a similar method to British Bilston enamels. The green contra-enamelling on the back certainly indicates some form of fired enamel.
The script looks more Japanese than Chinese but I am illiterate in both.

BTW, welcome to the antiquers board.

 

I do not believe this is wireless cloisonne, which was a Japanese process.

Simply, an enamel plate/tray.
I think Chinese, not Japanese.
Not very old. As in 1980s and later.

Only a guess, wait for other opinions.

By the way, I'm glad you have made it over here. You always find interesting items. Glad to have you here.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome and help identifying this piece. I believe I have pinned this down to Canton enamel tray from second half 20th century. I don't feel too bad about passing it up now.
