With colors including creamy whites (usually the base color), shades of green (by far the most common glaze), yellow, and brown. Frequently with overglaze silver painted designs of dragons (which are often heavily worn away). Sometimes with underglaze designs, and sometimes with Satsuma style overglaze painted designs.
Sometimes confused with Satsuma (due to the similar creamy earthenware with a crackle glaze) or Awaji (because of the similar green glaze often used with Awaji (also Awaji sometimes did similar painted designs).

The Tezen Musuem in Izumo has provided identification. Translation by me. "This is what we call an 'aonagashi kiyū-tsubo (running green glaze, yellow glazed jar) 青流し黄釉壺 made at the Nadafunaki kiln. 灘舩木窯 The turtle mark 亀印 reads「出雲若山」(Izumo Jyakuzan/Izumo Wakayama).
The 「大」mark is the old type used from about 1880-90.
The gourd design on the body is called Hisago-zu.
The signature 玄賞斎 ("Genshosai") indicates that it is the work of an artist named Kanō Isen'in, who was the 8th Naganobu of the Kobikicho branch of the Kanō school.
He was an official artist to Lord Fumaiko (Matsudaira Harusato, 7th hereditary daimyo of the Izumo Matsue clan. 1751-1818). Fumaiko favored this design, and it was one of the designs used in the official Tsuchiya and Nagahara kilns. However, after the Meiji Restoration the private Fujiki family kilns also began using it. There are existing examples of works painted by Fujina ware decorators that were based on the designs of Naganobu.
