Re: Japanese Satsuma ware and moriage
This is Satsuma, very nice and of good quality, the Mark says Shozan.
The name Shozan is very common, in different styles and over time from Meiji until
much later, at least Showa-2 period. The signature is very diverse because the sho
character is written differently. Nevertheless, most of the work is from Meiji period
Okamura Shozan奥村松山1842–1905
As an apprentice at the Hikone domain’s Koto ware workshop, he learned pottery
from Kangin Denshichi, and became independent in 1876. He started making wares
at Awataguchi, Kyoto. At first, he used coloured glaze to create replicas of ancient
Imari and Nonomura Ninsei’s wares, but after Western illustrations were
incorporated into Kurita ware, he started making Kyo-Satsuma ware together with
the likes of Senkozan. After winning multiple awards at the National Industrial
Exhibition, his wares also earned favour in Europe.
