MAKUZU WARE Of YOKOHAMA

Toguri Museum in Tokyo July 1, 2019

 For those interested in Makuzu Ware. There is a great museum in Yokohama that features Makuzu ware and the works of Miyagawa Kozan.  Makuzu ware originated in Kyoto, but in 1869 two Yokohama merchants established a kiln for export wares. Miyagawa Kozan and his sons established a kiln in Minami Otamachi. (See Gorham p.150). I have seen the name written in English as Miyagawa and Miyakawa, but it is 宮川 in Japanese.

    Can you tell me if an oriental blue and white oriental porcelain without any mark on back indicates a date before or after late 19C?

      One can not tell the age by lack of marks.
