I recognized this as Awaji at a distance when i first spotted it at Urban Ore today. The blue color, the glossy finish, excess glaze, and even the wear scratches told me that it was Awaji - even though it isn't signed. The piece is 12 inches wide by a little more than 3 inches tall. Although it's unsigned, i'm 100% certain that it's Awaji. i guess i'm getting pretty good at seeing it now! i got it for only $3. there are different qualities of Awaji and the lesser quality stuff is very thin and lightweight and usually green. this piece is quite a bit thicker and heavier and the blue color is a little rare and special.
I love the merging of the blues!
thank you LuluX!
Another blue Awaji bowl. This one is marked "JAPAN".

thank you Efes. so the feet are called 'bun feet'. mine is another 50% larger, but otherwise almost the same.
Beautiful!
