Thanks Peter, I have never heard of Binzan, the porcelain on the bottom looks to dense to me to be antique, vintage at the most I think.

Their website says the kiln was established only about 60 years ago, but the website uses a company name, so really nothing old. Just another porcelain factory, it appears.The site is Japanese only. Online in Japan a lot of items marked Binzan are traded.
