This feels like a fairly old piece, cannot find another one anywhere to find out more about it. No obvious markings although may need to check again. The feet are pretty and it is quite an unusual piece. Any information at all is gratefully received. Thank you
I have found a very similar vase which is by Ishiguro Koko which has similar features to those on this bowl. However, there are no markings .

Waki is very sick at the moment, but I'm sure he'll check in when he can.

Sumida pottery was created specifically for export between the late 1800s and the 1920s. It was still produced until World War II and briefly after the war. The production is continued up until today.
This distinct type of wares got its name from the Sumida river running near the Asakusa pottery district near Tokyo. It was near the banks of this river it was first made. The Japanese word for river is gawa, hence the name Sumidagawa. In 1924 Inuoue Ryosai III (1888-1971) moved the manufacturing site to Yokohama.
The style of applied figures on a surface with flowing glaze was invented about 1890 by the Seto potter Ryosai I, who worked in Tokyo from about 1875 to 1900.
It is is heavy, sculpted and usually has applied three-dimensional figures.
The most common characteristics are items whose upper half (or less) is partially glazed with a flambé glaze or glazed with two or more colors in a splashed application
In the earlier works the intricacy of the applied figures is often amazing, individual features on faces can be seen in detail. Later on, perhaps when demand required mass or faster production, the features were often drawn, with only a line for the mouth, for instance.
The last photo is showing a Koko with similar faces to the ones on this piece. This piece is only the first three photos. Wow so chuffed with your views ;) I wonder if it is a Koko.
It is open it is a bowl.
The second photo with the shell-like feet moulded is the bottom.
At the bottom of the bowl there is yellowy bits where the colour has chipped off, I didn't think it was a koko until I saw the last photo which shows a face with the round black blob on.
the most common denominator ( altough they intertwine) IMO opinion are the karako, and the red colourtonality as a whole could be indication te be abit old , this one is not, intertwine , he is a student of INOUE-RYOSAI
REFERENCE sumida yaki aka sumida gawe ware (for instance)
When it is a stray i can,t help it, don,t get confused by , because they are even worse than me
That,s all and i want to sleep
That's amazing thank you Apostata, enjoy your snoozing x
