Yamatoku" or "Mountain Virtue" and is reckoned to date to the late Meiji to early Taisho era, in other words, 1910 - 1920s. When properly stamped it looks like this.The name was derived from Yamaguchi Tokuichi (i.e., Yama & Toku) who was responsible for the commercial expansion of the kiln in the early Meiji era.The palette is a revival of old 18th century Edo period painting, itself a copy of Chinese famille noire of the Kangxi period (1662-1722). The black color is achieved by applying a copper-green lead based enamel over an unfired coating of cobalt & manganese, allowed to dry, which combination makes a completely opaque black. This creates a very pleasing illusion of receding negative space, such that the reserved designs, in this case the blue & magenta flowers & leaflets, seem to pop right out almost in 3D.This is a used item so minor signs of wear should be expected.
