Japanese Satsuma Style Scalloped Porcelain Plate

This item is a Japanese decorative porcelain plate featuring a distinct scalloped or 'pie crust' edge with a spiral fluted texture radiating from the center. The plate is constructed from fine white porcelain and decorated with a hand-painted or transfer-overlay central scene depicting figures in traditional Japanese attire, likely geishas, set against a landscape with cherry blossoms. The rim is heavily embellished with a deep cobalt blue 'flow blue' style border, overlaid with intricate gold-colored gilding in a repeating scrolling motif. The porcelain exhibits a glossy glaze, though a modern Goodwill price tag is affixed directly to the center. Notable features include the moriage-style raised gold accents on the robes and landscape, characteristic of Meiji-era influenced export ware (likely mid-20th century). Physically, the plate appears to be in fair condition with no visible cracks or large chips to the rim, though the heavy gilding may show minor shelf wear or thinning. The presence of the sticker suggests it is a vintage mass-produced trade item rather than an ancient artifact. Quality indicators include the precise scalloping and the contrast between the cobalt border and the delicate interior palette of pink, gold, and grey tones.
