    Working my way through a box of pottery and while this is signed I'm not sure what it says. It's a slightly curved dish 4¼" square with two partial figures in kimonos and geta sandals. Signed on the front and back maybe Jahar, Jaffar, Jahan, Jaffan, Jatro, Jaffro, Uahar, something like that.

    Is this familiar to anyone? Thanks for thoughts!
