Re: Japanese Raku Maker's Mark Identification

Stew, I figured one of our Japanese contributors might take this on, but I'll make a stab at it in their stead. The mark shown in the middle photo appears to be ้›€้ทน , which is kanji for the Japanese sparrow hawk (tsumi), also rendered ้›€้ท‚, with the same transliteration. Perhaps someone will now offer the deserved critique of my reading and offer some comments on the piece itself, which has a glaze similar to that found on some old Shiwan (Shekkwan) ware from Guangzhou in China.

Best regards,

Bill H.
