Old Vintage Ceramic Japanese Hand Painted Art Plate?

[KevinM]

I purchased this old Japanese or asian art plate a few months ago from the TS. It's about 10 inches in width and about 1 1/2 inches in height from the bottom rim to the top rim.

It's a rather heavy ceramic plate and is very nicely hand painted (rather thickly) and crazed. There is also a hand painted signature and/or seal of some type on the bottom.

The paint is rather thick and shimmers a little in the light at the right angle (kind of like a carnival glass shimmer or gasoline or oil on water shimmer) and there is a white dot of heavy raised white paint that the bird seems to be flying towards.

The bottom rim also looks to have a lot of vintage age or wear on it along with the 3 mounting holes within the bottom rim.

Does anyone know anything about this plate or the artist or origin or time period. I'm thinking early 1900's Japanese but I could be way off.

Thank for any help!

I have a similar plate in the shop now, I am also looking for info. I will upload pics perhaps we can both look into it... I was thinking this is an early 19th piece... maybe Chinese? maybe Imari... like an early piece.

Thanks ANTIQUERAIDERS, this does look like an older plate and possibly an early 19th piece. I've looked around a lot out there and have yet to find a similar one out there but there must be a few I'm sure. I just haven't been using the right keywords in the search to locate it. I would like to see your plate pics...

The plate is Japanese not Chinese. It does not like to be early 19thc may be late 19thc to early 20thc.
