Subject:Maker's mark?
Posted By: Jane Harmon Sun, Jun 27, 2021 IP: 24.119.44.42

Can anyone read this? I haven't been able to find anything while researching. The mark is on a fairly large tripod bronze censor.

嶋佐 - Shimasa

I have found an entry for the Smithsonian where they acquired a bronze vase made by Shimasa. Wondering if this could be the same. It only said Shimasa of Osaka. ???

Dear Jane Harmon,

Did you ever found out more about the Shimasa mark? Do you still posess the item? I stumbled across another large bronze exemplar with it (though not a censer but a very large vase) recently and compiled a list of all works with that mark I could find on the internet. I would love to disuss this further with you.
With kind regards
Madria
