[QUOTE="LaneAcadia, post: 377590, member: 7915"]I've found one matching dish and one footed jar in various image searches, but I can't locate the original source of either of those photos. Reverse image search has been useless for both. When unpacking some of my late grandmother's dinnerware, I found this unusual dish. It's clearly hand-painted, since the brush strokes on the flowers are palpable under the glaze. The gold moriage details stand out in sharp relief and are irregular; they do not appear mechanically applied in any way. The gilding shows some signs of light wear, and the wear on the gilded edge of the plate is a bit more extensive. However, the condition is overall very good. There are also tiny white accents on the white lines in the pink-and-white diamond pattern near the center of the plate. From my very limited knowledge, my best guess was that this was a Nippon piece (or at least created in that style). But the back is completely unmarked, and after two days of heavy online searching, the two photos I mentioned above are the only matches I've found -- and even those have come with absolutely no useful identifying information. I can't even find an official "pattern" that matches the design. I would be grateful for ANY info on this piece. It's hard to even know where to start with it, because I don't want to bring it to just any appraiser, or to have it appraised without at least a baseline for comparison.[/QUOTE]
