I have a Satsuma pottery serving dish. I am only assuming that it is used as a serving piece because of the handle. It is oblong shaped, however, it has leafing design around the rim. The gold handle is shaped like ribbon with a small 4 pedel flower at the top. This piece has a significant amount of gold outlining. It has a lot of tiny tan colored raised dots. In the middle of the piece there is a male and female peacock. There is a two wheeled sidewalk vendor cart with two baskets of flowers. This is such a beautiful and unique piece. The porcelain under the glaze is cracked. That usually means the piece is fairly old. Im not sure what the markings mean on the bottom. I was also not able to interperet the 4 chinese words in the stamp. I have not had any luck finding anything like this piece. Thank You for any insight anyone is able to give.
