I have had this bowl for about 10 years but cannot find any info on it. It has a Japanese influence with a matte glaze and flying cranes. It is about 8" in diameter. Anyone recognize the potter's mark? I may have posted this several years ago, can't remember!
It's interesting Mary because it has some Japanese style cues but also some Western pottery cues. The shape and rim are not typically Japanese.
I have never seen a Japanese piece dated like that and I wonder if it's by an expat working in the West or someone with Japanese experience?
I agree racer4four that was probably made in North America. The clay is an unusual colour, more taupe in tone than any of my other pieces. I am not a potter so not sure if it really is u usually!
