    Had to buy this from the Charity shop because of the fat quails. 7 inches x 4 and a half. Thinking satsuma? Did it have a purpose or is it a just a pretty pin dish? Any translation of the back text please anyone? Thanks.

    Thanks Charlie, I’m pretty clueless about this and shouldn’t have taken my guess from something similar I saw on Etsy.

    Main difference is the type of ceramic. Kutani is thin egg shell type porcelain, often decorated heavily in a rich rust like orange pigment. The little mark that was highlighted above is a dead giveaway. It reminds me of a little hut.

    Satsuma is a heavier earthenware that will have crazing in the glaze. It often has raised decoration in relief, moriage, and and often has a blood red rectangle on the base with gold signature. It usually has the shimazu crest which is a circle with a cross in it.

    Satsuma cream/beige color in addition to being heavier earthenware. I bet you intended to toss that in and it just slipped your mind.

    Never even crossed my mind in all honesty.

    The little hut mark is actually the Japanese character for the number 9. Refers to 9 hills or 9 valleys. Can't remember which, LOL.
