<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 352526, member: 308&quot;]Hello Board Friends!&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to educate myself a bit on Satsuma.&nbsp; I come across pieces occasionally and I&#039;ve decided I like it enough to create a small collection.&nbsp; I bought this plate this weekend and want to see if my research skills are moving in the right direction.&nbsp; The plate is 8 5/8&quot; across.&nbsp; If I&#039;m reading my book right (Andacht) the mark on the back is a generic Satsuma mark and the diamond pattern are kame (tortoise) symbols.&nbsp; I&#039;m a little lost from there though.&nbsp; I think the figures represent children.&nbsp; The medallions differ slightly in that two medallions feature two figures and the other represents three.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure what they are doing.&nbsp; Does the center decoration and the other round gold decorations represent coins?&nbsp; Any aid in helping me understand what I am seeing would be much appreciated.&nbsp; Thank you!</p><p>Don</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]119729[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119732[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119735[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
