blue white bowl

Ping, don't get deceived by Chinese decorations. In earlier times the Japanese copied lots of Chinese motifs, and also some marks. Some Europeans manufacturers also imitated Chinese decorations to a high degree.

This is transfer printed.
In the decoration along the bottom there are four Japapanese characters (マシカタ) reading 'mashikata'.
