This item was found while clearing out an old Japanese house. It's likely a gift from a wedding or funeral. I took it out of the box it came in and washed it. It features a design of Chinese children, in the style of Imari ware from Saga Prefecture. It's also recommended as a decorative item for a room or entryway. There is a brand name on the bottom. It is approximately 28cm in diameter and 1cm deep.
