Q: This platter has been in the family for many years and belonged to my great-great grandmother. It has a stamp on the back that says “Satsuma Solian Ware, Cobridge, England.”

A: Soho Pottery Ltd. started in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England, in 1901. The company’s Elder Works was located at Cobridge from 1906 to 1944. Satsuma is the pattern name. Don’t confuse this with the Japanese pottery known as Satsuma, which has a creamy beige crackled glaze and sells for high prices. Solian is a trade name first used about 1913. This mark was used beginning about 1930. Value of your platter is under $20. A Japanese Satsuma plate sold recently for $177.

    Please advise about the vase which has been in our family for some time. It is a reticulate vase with Satsuma printed on the bottom.
