Japanese Fan-Shaped Dish

[bokaba]

I was wondering what type of ceramic this is. It looks like Satsuma to me, but I am not sure. It is in the shape of a fan. I am not sure of the age. Perhaps early 20th Century? It was marked Edo period, but I don't think that is correct.

Thank you

Klick it with your finger, if it has a high ring tone then it is porcelain, but if a low ring tone then it is earthenware which is typical for Satsuma, it looks old, Meiji period.

Hi Stan, here is a picture of the full back of the piece. It has a dense feel, so it is probably Satsuma. What do you think, 19th Century?

Hi Bokaba, thanks for the photo of the bottom, yes this has all the traits for Satsuma and could very well be late Edo period, This ivory color and crackle in the glaze is typical for Satsuma and should have a low ring sound when you klick it with your finger, this dish is from a set that would have made a circle if complete and also would have also a center dish,
