i guess these would be considered Kutani, but they look very influenced by the American market around 1900. I think they're soooo beautiful, even though each one has a small chip in the rim. i paid only a couple bucks at a second-hand store. I'd love to learn more about them. like why there is a script DAS on the back of each of them.
i found out that thse are Meiji, and very rare pieces by Kikkoen Zo.
for the export market.
They are gorgeous.
Nice find I wish my second hand store had stuff like that. DAS is more than likely a mono gram of who owned them.
thank you racer4four and grendel67! there are small rim chips on all of them. i wonder if it would be worth it to repair them? anyone have a good method of doing a home restoration?
I say it would depend on what they are worth restoring or not. You would need to find out what they are worth.
thank you grendel67.
i went back to the 2nd hand place i got these at and found two more UNDAMAGED ones! yeah!
Maybe you will find more there they haven't put out yet. I would ask if they have anymore pieces. They haven't put out yet. here a link for repair http://www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/pottery-and-ceramic-fix-restoration-repair.html
Since it is Japanese I would do a Japanese repair "kintsugi"
using golden joinery can be done on chips . Japanese don't believe in hiding damage it is part of the life of piece.
thank you grendel67! i have been checking. they won't tell me whether they have any in the back room. that's the way this place does business - similar to the Goodwills around here. i love kintsugi and that's exactly what i will do when i'm able! thanks again!
You're right Goodwill does the same thing. Have to be lucky to find something good at Goodwill anything that would be a good find gets either shipped off to a main goodwill to be auctioned online or someone sorting though items is selling it on the side And never see it on the floor.
thank you rucklczglass!
