Subject:Translate signature on Vase for help identifying
Posted By: Steve F Sun, May 19, 2024 IP: 134.215.38.190
Please help with the signature on this vase as I'm not able to get a translation online. This vase appears as if it might be late 19th century or early 20th century. It stands almost 8 inches tall. It's quite beautiful. Thank you in advance for your help.

I've seen this mark before and in my opinion this is a kind of cursive signature of Kusube 楠部.
This Kyo Satsuma ware vase is made around 1930 by Kusube's factory.

Sennosuke Kusube (1859-1941) established Kusube Pottery Trading Factory in Kyoto around the early 1880's for the production & decoration of Kyo Satsuma (pottery in Satsuma style) and to promote the local industry of Awata ware. The number of craftsmen working for him increased and it became successful for some time. The business closed down in 1940 and Sennosuke died a year later.

Regards,
Martin.

楠部　Kusube

Kyō-Satsuma/Awata ware from the 1910s-20s.
Kusube Sennosuke 楠部千之助 1859-1940 was a ceramics painter

For some time to come, modern technology will not be able to read such cursive writing.

With regards,
I.Nagy
