i guess these would be considered Kutani, but they look very influenced by the American market around 1900. I think they're soooo beautiful, even though each one has a small chip in the rim. i paid only a couple bucks at a second-hand store. I'd love to learn more about them. like why there is a script DAS on the back of each of them.

i found out that thse are Meiji, and very rare pieces by Kikkoen Zo.
for the export market.
They are gorgeous.
Nice find I wish my second hand store had stuff like that. DAS is more than likely a mono gram of who owned them.
thank you racer4four and grendel67! there are small rim chips on all of them. i wonder if it would be worth it to repair them? anyone have a good method of doing a home restoration?
I say it would depend on what they are worth restoring or not. You would need to find out what they are worth.
thank you grendel67.
i went back to the 2nd hand place i got these at and found two more UNDAMAGED ones! yeah!
Maybe you will find more there they haven't put out yet. I would ask if they have anymore pieces. They haven't put out yet. here a link for repair http://www.lakesidepottery.com/Pages/pottery-and-ceramic-fix-restoration-repair.html
Since it is Japanese I would do a Japanese repair "kintsugi"
using golden joinery can be done on chips . Japanese don't believe in hiding damage it is part of the life of piece.
thank you grendel67! i have been checking. they won't tell me whether they have any in the back room. that's the way this place does business - similar to the Goodwills around here. i love kintsugi and that's exactly what i will do when i'm able! thanks again!
You're right Goodwill does the same thing. Have to be lucky to find something good at Goodwill anything that would be a good find gets either shipped off to a main goodwill to be auctioned online or someone sorting though items is selling it on the side And never see it on the floor.
thank you rucklczglass!
outstanding and very rare
