Got this plate from a friend who was cleaning out an estate... she was about to throw away this plate but I wanted to do some investigating on it.    For starters does it look old?    The bottom does not look like I would expect as it not glazed and a somewhat rough.  There is no old dirt or discoloration.      It is a line in the place where I would expect a signature.  The crack does not go all the way across so it was never repaired.    I do not see any little dots or pock marks.   
Want to know if it junk or worthy of further investigations. 

Thanks much in advance.

Hi Elizabeth, this looks like Taisho period to me, the outside bottom of the foot would be more rounded if it were earlier, not straight on the outside of the foot rim.
