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.

Eiwa Kinsei (栄和謹製)
Eiwa Kinsei is generally export porcelain. It appears to have been exported between the mid to late 1950's-1980's. There are black and gold marks which date to the 50's (on lithophane geisha), a blue square mark which seems to have been used around the same time as the black and gold mark, rare red square mark in bone script probably used in the 1960's, and then most widely seen red mark with block script which is from the 1970's on.
This is the Eiwa Kinsei mark with the "Ei" in bone script. My feeling

Hi I don't know if you have a specific spot for questions like these if you do I apologize I'm not really familiar with how to work blogspot but I was wondering if you were at all familiar with these markings?

I have literally viewed multiple sites and couldn't find anything. If you know anything about any of them that would be greatly appreciated.
I noticed some Eiwa Kinsei ware from the 1960s (?) has a black tall ginger jar stamp alongside the red stamp. Is that a Japanese department store logo?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, I can’t picture in my mind what you are asking about.
DeleteThanks for your response. Its just a solid black/silhouette motif image of a tall elegant black lidded ginger jar. This jar motif is over 2 times the height of the oval red seal it stands upon. This porcelain differs from the usual Eiwa Kinsei ware in that it is thicker & heavier with a downwards curving lip all around, yet otherwise having all the fine quality of Eiwa Kinsei items.
ReplyDeleteI still can’t picture it. It’s not really my area of interest or expertise. I publish marks but my main interest is not in mass produced Japanese export wares, but rather the higher quality domestic ware. I’m sorry I can’t help you further.
DeleteThankyou I appreciate you taking the time to respond.
