<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 277331, member: 59&quot;]I received this dish (not completely flat like a platter nor deep enough to be a bowl) as a gift in 1989. It was accompanied by a card from the &quot;Far Eastern Art&quot; dealer in Washington, DC, from whom it had been purchased, that says &quot;19th century porcelain dish.... made in Arita, Japan.&quot; Not that I have any reason to disbelieve that description, but since we have several active members with experience in this area and since it has no marks to check out at Gotheborg, I thought it would post it to see what you think.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s just a smidge over 11 inches in diameter, decorated under glaze in what looks to me like a grey-ish blue (although in the pictures it looks more blue and less grey.) Some of the decoration looks a bit blurry, particularly where the sides bend upward, but most is very precise. The underside has a circle of 5 stilt marks around another single stilt mark in the center. I have to assume that the number and arrangement of stilts had to do with its size?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts or information gratefully requested.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]88245[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]88246[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]88247[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
