<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 243397, member: 2844&quot;]Good work! Japanese uses the same characters as Chinese.</p><p>To date something like this, you usually check the maker&#039;s name, good pieces are signed. If the character is for &#039;authentic&#039; that is very difficult of course. It could be Japanese Imari or a Chinese Imari style dish.</p><p>If you want to sell the dish there are a few things to consider that influence the value, and may not justify spending much time on research. There is damage, a hairline crack and the edge is chipped. The decoration is not top quality and it does not have a real maker&#039;s mark.</p><p>If you want to keep it for yourself, just enjoy it, the shape and colours are nice.</p><p>For investment, this is the quality you look for in Imari:</p><p><img src="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/bild/884_fullsize.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/bild/1474_fullsize.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturyjapan.shtml#arita" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturyjapan.shtml#arita" rel="nofollow">http://www.gotheborg.com/marks/20thcenturyjapan.shtml#arita</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
