Subject:Inscription on a Japanese vase.
Posted By: spartakos Wed, Aug 15, 2018 IP: 49.49.244.70
Wonder what is written on the bottom of this vase, there is artists embossed seal, a trace of a red seal and some written text. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Embossed seal reads,
赤膚山　-　Akahada-yama - Name of pottery in Nara with long tradition.
Inscription in my reading,
安政五年正月　-　5th Year of Ansei (1858), January
大蔵氏　-Ōkura-shi

With regards,
I.Nagy

Esteemed I.Nagy, this item turned out to be interesting indeed, I saw some items of this kiln of similar age are high valued on Japanese auctions. Will look into it further. Thank you once again.
Best Regards
Spartakos
