Post by: Scott13 on June 27, 2016, 08:38:48 AM

Hi, I'm curious to know who might have made this- any thoughts appreciated. I suspect it's Chinese  :-\


It weighs just over 1kg
Its height is 21cms (about 8.5")
It has an oval polished out pontil mark.

Thanks for looking
Scott

Hello Scott  -  I notice one or two internet sites - including Emmi Smith - are saying that this label is 'most likely Japanese'............   I like the colours tho. :)

Hi Scott, the Japanese firm Kamei looks a good bet for your piece.  :)
