Kiln in Saga Prefecture that began production at the beginning of Meiji (1868-1912) period
and still operates today. Yamatoku (Mountain virtue). Mark when impressed is
in 'katagana' characters. Arita, Imari porcelain.

Japanese porcelain was born in Saga Prefecture in northern Kyushu. Crafted since the beginning of the 17th century, this 400-year-old art is widely celebrated as the epitome of Japanese porcelain. Despite being made in the Arita region, it was shipped out via Imari Port and was thus known as “Imari” porcelain. Loved for its vibrant, colorful designs, many modern Imari-Arita ware artisans continue to adorn their pieces with the dazzling patterns of their ancestors. Antique pieces, referred to as “Ko-Imari,” are scarce and valuable, attracting avid collectors across the globe. Imari-Arita ware is registered as a traditional Japanese craft by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Notes: Great condition, see images. No cracks.
