Subject:Age of Fukagawa Orchid Marking
Posted By: Jon Platten Sat, Jan 09, 2010 IP: 174.52.74.142
Can you tell me if this Fukagawa Orchid mark and writing is from 1856-1875 or is it a very recent piece? What does the red writing mean? Is that the name of the artist?

Hello Jon,

Sorry, I have no "solution" for the red marks (probably the name of the decorator) for the moment,but I don't think its a recent piece. This kind of impressed "Koransha" marks and also the decoration fits in the period mid to late 19th. century.

best regards,

Arjan
