Subject:vases
Posted By: KK Sat, Nov 18, 2006 IP: 69.238.230.231 I love to find out more information about their maker, history of this type of pottery. Any one can help? A antique website calls them "Kyoto Ware". What is "Kyoto Ware"? |

Subject:Kyoto ware =Awaji pottery?
Posted By: KK Mon, Nov 20, 2006 Thanks, Judy, PyroManiac and Edward. Both what so called �Kyoto ware� and Awaji ware have very similar style and identical finely crackle glazes and clay body. Awaji piece often has a square kiln mark with �Japan� on its base. The unmarked pieces often termed � Kyoto ware� But Kyoto is not in Awaji Island. So why �Kyoto ware�??? Is there a separated kiln around Kyoto make similar ware? |
