It does not have the Squiggly backmark but many identical do have. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=18716]@Ce BCA[/USER] is of course correct and it would be more appropriate to describe it as 1980 Chinese Royal satsuma pr something of that nature as that is what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Simply describing it as Satsuma is misleading because it is not absolutely is not Satsuma in anyway even though the chinese maker has marked it as Satsuma.&nbsp; Satsuma is japanese and quite specific. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was being ever slightly cynical because i have been in many arguments with people that get angry when I tell them their 1980 chinese vase is not Satsuma, and sometimes at the end of it all ..I sometimes wonder is there an artist called Akira Kokorozashi <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; who made these in the 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe it or not some people collect the Chinese satsuma marked by Akira Kokorozashi, and would pay for that vase. You can hit them over the head with a frying pan but they still collect them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
