Re: Japanese ceramic shoe

It's actually Chinese, the seal mark inside is a" Reign mark " for the Qianlong period (1736-95), but these are notoriously fraudulent . Such marks can be found on pieces made within the last 20 years. The mark stamped on the silver bottom is the key, if it was ledgible it would be possible to put an accurate date on it.
