Hello all:

Has anyone come across this mark before on ceramics?

Thank you,

Yasuda Masahiro, Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ceramics)?

That certainly looks like it, Piers. Thank you. I searched through several sites listing Japanese ceramics and procelain, however with thousands of individual marks, it was a needle in a haystack. Just for interest, here is a pic of the suiteki. A persimmon or peach, I assume.

Hard to tell, but the colour alone might suggest a young peach rather than a persimmon…(?)

Did some additional research. Looks as if mine is a copy. Note the cartouche is different on the real example (square) and the chevron stroke on the top is separate rather than solid.  I wouldn't say fake since the potter didn't try to replicate his mark exactly. Still looks nice, though and I didn't pay much for it.
