Japanese Kutani-style Scalloped Kaboware Porcelain Plate

This is a vintage Japanese porcelain plate, approximately 7 to 8 inches in diameter, featuring a distinctive spiral or swirled 'kaboware' (molded) shape. The plate's rim is heavily scalloped and decorated with a deep cobalt blue overglaze, further embellished with intricate gold-gilt 'moriage-style' floral and scroll patterns. The central hand-painted scene depicts traditional Japanese figures—possibly four geishas or ladies in kimonos—walking through a landscape with pine trees and stylized clouds or blossoms. The color palette includes earth tones, lavender, and muted greens, common in early 20th-century export porcelain. The craftsmanship shows a combination of transferware and hand-painted accents, often seen in pieces from the Taisho or early Showa periods (circa 1920s-1940s). Notably, a prominent 'Goodwill' price sticker is affixed directly to the center of the glaze, which may leave adhesive residue. There is visible wear to the gilt along the raised edges and rim, which is typical for its age. No major chips or cracks are immediately visible in the image, though 'flea bites' or minor surface scratches may be present upon closer inspection. The lack of a visible backstamp prevents definitive kiln identification, but the style strongly aligns with Japanese regional wares produced for the Western market.
