This mark reads Seihou Gama (正峯窯)
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.

I have a beautiful ginger jar with a mark similar to this one but I don't think it is the same. It's also square with Japan printed underneath. Do you know of others like this one?
ReplyDeleteLaura, there are many who have a mark in a square. Please feel free to send me a picture of your piece, including mark. My email is in the welcome message off to the side of the page.

ReplyDeleteI have what I think is a vintage Yamaji vase but I can’t find out anything about it. I’ve had it for about 40 years it’s trimmed in gold with red and orange colors and marked with a symbol with Japan beneath it is there anything you can tell me about it?
ReplyDeleteAs is mentioned on my blog, I do not take personal queries. Communication in a blog format is difficult. I recommend you join a Facebook group like “Collecting Japanese Ceramics and Arts” where you can post actual pictures and receive answers.
