Posted By: Bill H Mon, Dec 31, 2012 James Lord Bowes includes two identical Kinkozan marks on page 141 of his book, "Japanese Marks and Seals in Literature and the Arts". One is on a flower pot, and the other is what the good Lord Bowes describes as "...a vase of modern faience decorated with cloisonne enamel...." (which I take to mean in the Shippo style). In any event, since the Bowes book was first published in 1882, I believe your identification is at hand in the information you cite herewith. |

Posted By: Steve Sun, Jan 13, 2013 I found the same e-book scan yesterday, and grabbed a screen shot of the mark. What I don't get is the character at the top of the right column on my mark, which doesn't appear on any other Kinkozan marks I could find. |

Posted By: Eleanor Caputo Fri, Jun 05, 2020 I have a matching set of dark orange vases with beautiful blue poppies I believe they're about 10 in tall with this Potter's mark on the bottom for kinkozan. I can't find these vases anywhere and was wondering if anybody found out any more information on that Potter's mark. Thanks for any information |

Posted By: Martin Michels Sun, Jun 07, 2020 "Made in Japan" became mandatory from 1921, U.S. Customs required country names to be in English, and the word “Japan” was used instead of Nippon. |

Posted By: Eleanor Caputo Mon, Jun 08, 2020 Thank you so much for your information. I appreciate your fast response. I thought it was a Roman numeral 40. Thank you for the correction. |

Posted By: Bill H Sun, Jun 07, 2020 It seems not to have been repeated here, but such marks with 'Made in Japan" added are generally believed not to have been enforced until after 1919. The U.S. law requiring the wording "Made in" was passed in 1914 but not implemented until World War I ended. Whether any vestige of the original Kinkozan studio remained with the firm at this time is unknown to me. |
