    I don't know; but for the convenience of others, you can click "edit" on your post, and then click "full image" for the photos.
    It is easier if the photos display in full.
    And Welcome!

    They're trying to be Satsuma in style, but look like hobby painted.

    Assuming these are some kind of ceramic or porcelain? They look nicely done.

    @fanyi , do you speak Japanese? Welcome to Antiquers! :)

    If the mark says "Meiji", could it mean the Meiji period? (1868-1912).

    Yes, it says "Meiji," but has anyone ever come across a mark that just says Meiji on a piece of genuine Japanese Satsuma dating from the Meiji era?

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is contemporary so-called Chinese Satsuma, from China not Japan. Can't really say with much confidence based on those photos, but the way the gilding is applied looks very suspect.
