I have a plate that is actually a trivet. It stands 1 1/4" high, and is 10" in diameter. At 8" in diameter there is a depression where a glass cover my have set in. There are traces of gold on the rim, showing that it was gilt-edge at one time. The center design shows a large temple on the left and a bridge on the right w/ two people. There is a willow and fruit trees a fence with swastika pattern in the fence panels. At the top of this design is an island w/ a smaller temple some houses, trees and a boat nearby. There are no marks on the reverse side. The blue is transfer printed, but there is also some areas on the plate that are painted blue. Can anyone identify this plate? Thanks Mike.
