Message:: [QUOTE="finding_antiques, post: 9482391, member: 12512"]Hi [USER=81755]@JenQ[/USER], it's easy to get confused by the terminology. The original (and generally higher quality) pieces referred to as "Satsuma" are stoneware, not porcelain. As [USER=35]@kentworld[/USER] pointed out, yours appears to be "Satsuma style", of middling quality, and made for export (these were often decorated porcelain, like yours). I agree with [USER=35]@kentworld[/USER]'s assessment on dating too, likely early to mid 20th century. Here is a useful reference from Gotheborg that helps explain the difference between "Satusuma" and what would be referred to as "Satsuma style" or "Kyoto Satsuma". <a href="https://gotheborg.com/glossary/satsuma.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://gotheborg.com/glossary/satsuma.shtml" rel="nofollow">https://gotheborg.com/glossary/satsuma.shtml</a>[/QUOTE]
