Where can I find out more about recent work labeled Kutani? I have a vase with a gold Kutani paper label and with the kanji on the bottom in gold on a blue-ish rectangle. This vase had an AAFES tag on the bottom, so I assume that it can’t be very old. Any tips for finding out more about it? Thanks.

Unfortunately (joke!) a long-time friend lived in Japan for six years as a buyer for AAFES. She shared with me her love for Japanese ceramics and I have never been the same since. It is a forever-teaching passion and this article has helped my small and growing knowledge base. This article was a pleasure to read.

Great article. Thank YOU….took me back when I worked For Original
GUMP’s under Richard Gump and Martin Rosenblatt…and handled
fine pieces of Kutani and so much more….. selling to museums and
collectors world wide.
The article is so didactic and a great mental trip for me.
