Welcome

I love Japanese pottery and porcelain. Having lived in Japan for many years, and now going back and forth between the USA and Japan often, I am able to research the Japanese pottery that I love. I have visited many kilns throughout Japan, attended many exhibitions, visited large ceramic museums and hole in the wall shows. I have met many wonderful potters, some famous in the West, some not. I have researched many potters and their marks. I have information on many marks in my files, some I have recorded from my own collection, others from books, pamphlets, and “papers” from the kilns themselves. When I first started this blog I intended it as a way to learn about the many modern pieces was finding and to keep track of what I was learning. Over time I have also begun studying and collecting vintage and antique ceramics as well. These will also be included even if they don't really fall under the original title for my blog.

I am NOT taking any queries right now.

I have had so many requests that I am unable to continue with this service. It takes alot of time to research requests and I am not able to keep up.
