Oriental Lidded Dish

Top of Lid

I was hoping for some help dating and identifying this oriental lidded dish. It is 8 inches across and 2 inches deep with lid. With lid it id 4 inches. It has three panels on lid with butterflies and three panels on bottom with side views of the butterflies. Two applied handles on each side and one on the lid. There is a stamp on the bottom that might be of some help. This dish was awful dirty when I bought it and I was afraid to scrub too hard in worry of harming the dish. I dont know anything about Chinese or Japanese porcelain. The bottom rim, underside of lid and inside rim of dish are not glazed and has a gritty feel. Any help is appreciated, Dana

The decoration and mark are imitation a 19th century decoration, but both look as if they were made in the second half of the 10th century, at the most. I guess this will not be older than a few decades.
It is not an antique.
