My great grandmother died in Australia, aged 26 in 1900. This plate is the only thing we have that supposedly belonged to her. It’s had a hard life, and as you can see at one point spent a few decades under the guardianship of Dulcie, a friend of my great uncle. She gave it to us in her 90’s, along with the story. My main query is to establish if this plate could actually have belonged to someone who died in 1900. If it’s from a later date then obviously it can’t have been my great grandmothers. Can anybody shed some light on this plate please? Thanks so much, I’m in awe of all your knowledge. Oh, and is it safe for me to try to scrub and remove that awful felt tip writing on the back of the plate? I’ve always been too scared to touch it.

I do not know anything about oriental porcelain
Ooh, thank you, kivatinitz. That might be a good source.
can,t make sense out of it is to difficult for me, i tried to asses on style, the stem of the flowers and the winsing of the flower scrolls ( karakusa) and i wonder is it comparable to fukagawa chrysanthemum plate, but the afterglaring on the bottom is missing and the coloring but that is not mandatory , i
it is an glazing on the glazing type of coating
i think it is an generic japanese plate between 1900-1920 so i am probably because wring you grandmother died in 1900, i might have overlooked something
it,s a cute plate but IMO not that vivid and of low value
do me a favour don,t ask me about the advice about using gotheborg,
strange base maybe it is just japponica
