I bought this little bowl at a thrift store. It was in a plastic bag with a piece of stoneware. The bag cost under 5 dollars. It is @5.5" across and 2.5" deep. After a little research, am I right in thinking it is Satsuma Shuzan? Meiji period? Would love to know more, but think it is thousand flower design.
This is a beauty!
Shimazu Family crest. Taisho period (1912-1926) or sligtly later.
Bizan under the Shimazu Crest

The Bizan and Shuzan marks are very similar. if you compare Gotheborg's Bizan with the mark in photo three, there are significant differences. I have this mark a Shuzan.
Ok, thanks all, I did look at gotheborg, but had trouble with the bizan, shuzan and shimazu. Are we still thinking 1912-26 or later? dont know how long shuzan produced pottery. And should it be classified as pottery?
you are asking rhe wrong questions
there are an auwfull lot of signing of shuzan even the local boy from the rugby team
most meijji is co-signed with yasuda
imo it is taisho
