[QUOTE="khl889, post: 254843, member: 104"]That second character isn't 志 [I]zhi[/I]. It's 治 [I]zhi[/I]. So we have 明治 [I]Mingzhi[/I], reading [I]Meiji[/I] in Japanese. As in [I]Emperor Meiji[/I] and the period named for him. This misreading seems to have well propagated itself on the web. Based on what I've seen of other items with this mark, I suspect this piece is circa 1990s so-called Chinese Satsuma.[/QUOTE]
