Hello,

Below are three photos of one of two pieces I have that I think(??) are Agano ware, each with markings. The first piece is a small (3"?) vase with a marking impressed or engraved in the bottom. I'm not sure which way the kanji should be oriented, so I posted images of it in both directions.

Any assistance you all can provide in translating the markings and an estimation of age would be warmly appreciated and I thank you in advance for the same.

Kind Regards,
Chris

Marking reads,
吟松窯　-　Ginshō -gama - Ginshō Kiln
Name of a kiln in Ibusuki (Kagoshima Prefecture) founded in the 1970s by Arimura Yoshirō a hotel owner to boost the tourism in Ibusuki.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you yet again I. Nagy for your time, translation, and helpful information!

Kind Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
These Agano marks are typically marks I can't read, so I hope some other members of the forum will answer you.
