<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3681822, member: 18716&quot;]It is Japanese and it could be either Satsuma or Kutani ware.&nbsp; The subject of Japanese cranes is more commonly Kutani, but the clay (Kyoto style) is more commonly Satsuma.&nbsp; You are quite correct, the marks are just for lining or batching the products when they are made (in the same way glass stoppers are matched to decanters in the 19th century).&nbsp; It would appear to be late 19th century, Meiji period.&nbsp; Nice to see a yellow ground example, they are not particularly common.&nbsp; Unfortunately without a makers mark it is unlikely the maker could be traced.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
