You are invited to come along with me as I learn about Japanese ceramics. I will share what I learn about the kilns, history, terminology, potters, decorators, styles, and marks. This is a work in progress. ** NOTICE: I DO NOT ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS. General comments and questions will still be accepted.

What an awesome collection of Japanese marks. I've searched sites and cannot find the mark on the back of blue and white porcelain I just purchased. 7.5" plates, saucers and teacups. Almost Scandinavian looking ... in a Japanese way. With a mark that appears to be a Pagoda sitting on two squares with the kanji symbols for Ni hon (japan) inside it Ni on top. I know you aren't making IDs... but thought mine a curious mark.
