Do we have an expert on japanese porcelain here?

I came across a bunch of Japanese porcelain bowls and plates and have a little knowledge of them, but not much. If we have an expert here, could you bmail me so I can send you pictures to your email so you could have a look. I am currently researching the signatures, which doesn’t always help, but sometimes does. I’m not posting pictures here, I have them photographed though. I have one opinion that says they are Edo.

Thanks Little Roses, I know that site and am a member. I was unable to find any of the signatures there. I was hoping for someone who knew this stuff by the patterns on it, LOL. Well, one can wish!
