This was a really good deal from Volunteers of America. Got it for half price and it's still in it's original box! No idea how old it is or what shop it came from. Oddly there is no store name on the box at all just the number label and a bar code that says 15 1/2 in. plt. Probably someones souvenir from a trip or maybe just ordered from a catalog. The design on the plate looks like transfer ware not hand painted. It has 24 kt. gold accents on the design and on the rim but it's hard to see in the picture. The center picture I actually saw on a piece of antique 19th century blue and white that was on "Ancient Point's" website. They called it a Dutch ship and a symbolic turtle pattern. So it's a copy in the Imari style. Don't know if it's worth anything or how old it is. I would guess anywhere from current to the last 30 years. -Mike-

In Japanese folklore, the Takarabune (??) or Treasure Ship is a mythical ship piloted through the heavens by the Seven Lucky Gods during the first three days of the New Year. A picture of the ship forms an essential part of traditional Japanese New Year celebrations. During the first three days of the New Year the Seven Lucky Gods are said to pilot through the heavens and into human ports a mythical ship called the Takarabune, or Treasure Ship. The gods carry with them takaramono, or treasure things, including the hat of invisibility (kakuregasa), rolls of brocade (orimono), the inexhaustible purse (kanebukuro), the secret keys to the treasure shed of the gods (kagi), the scrolls of books of wisdom and life (makimono), the magic mallet (kozuchi), the lucky raincoat (kakuremino), the robe of fairy feathers (hagoromo), and the bag of fortune (nunobukuro). Many Takarabune prints show a crane above and a turtle below, representative of longevity and felicity, as well as a palindromic poem which tells of a long night in a boat. On awaking at dawn, everyone hears the sound of waves and sees smooth sailing ahead.

It is the symbol of Kumpira, the god of seafaring people.
