Large blue and white charger

by Rich C.
(Lancaster PA. U.S.A.)

This large plate was acquired by my mom in Indonesia just after WW2 and brought home in 1949. I don't know anything about it. Can someone let me know whether it's Chinese or Japanese, the approx. age of it, and what the 2 square marks on the back means? One mark is painted and the mark right next to it is inscribed. They are both under the glaze. The plate is 14.5 inches in diameter and is thick and heavy. Thanks, Rich

Hi, despite the Chinese decoration and mark on the back, this is a Japanese plate. It is transfer printed. The mark written in Katakana characters on the left of the blue one reads "Yamatoku". Not sure about the age of Japanese porcelain, but could be earlier in the 20th century judging from the quality of the print???
My personal view.
