Age: Meiji Period (1868-1912)
Origin/Maker: Izumo Jakuzan ware (Izumo Wakayama ware) 出雲若山, Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, Japan. Maker's marks on base of 大 (Dai) in a circle and 出雲 (Izumo).
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).
