It looks like a ramen bowl - I found many ceramics with the same brand (天下一筑後窯）at Yahoo! Auction and other site; 3 pieces of very similar bowls are sold at JPY3,800.

but I am here for more of an interest (fascination) with the robust riddle of solving ancient asian characters found on the antiques...not business

We seem to be doing all the work....

Everyone may do as they please, but until and unless I see some evidence that you are making an effort to solve these yourself prior to asking us to do it for you I am disinclined to participate further. There is a difference between helping a collector enjoy his collection and being treated as unpaid employees.

90 percent of my asian antiques I have researched myself. I just had a few items which I couldn't identify so figured if somebody was able to easily translate they may be able to. The topic is translation so I figured it would be appropriate to ask a few items be translated..Please by any means don't do any hard work, that wasn't my intention. Also what about all yhe other numerous threads refering to antiques? Have you questioned them as being your employer?

It took me over 8 hours of researching and investigating to finally discover a woodblock ukiyo-e print I had was Firefoxes in Edo by Ando Hiroshige. I obtained all the info except a black seal that was very hard to see and appeared to be carved in the woodblock behind a black background. Great adventure though

They wouldn't ask us to translate 5 items at a time.

Can't you recognize any of these easy-to-read characters, for instance? I believe you can easily come across to this word when you searching ukiyoe.
