Oriental lidded prunus jar. Nabeshima. Naoshima

Picked this up earlier today. The decor looks quite crude to me but the mark on the base has filled me with intrigue. First of all I got a result for the mark as Nabeshima. I'm not sure if this is correct as all I can find is plates if I search for this. Now another search suggestion is Naoshima.

 

that little mark would have totally thrown me as well the littlr handles nice as well

 

I'm still not convinced either way. Going to have a look at gothburg

 

is something odd about the glaze, looks a bit flowy

 

Yes it is a bit odd. Can't put my finger on it. I've looked up Nabeshima on gotheborg and the mark is nothing like this one.

 

Google lens AI says this: The image shows the base of a porcelain vase with a distinctive blue mark, which identifies it as a product of Koransha, a renowned Japanese ceramic company.

I dunno.

 

Thanks for looking. I think AI has it wrong this time. I've searched for koransha marks and keep getting an orchid type mark. Sort of similar but not.

 

I found a plate on eBay with the same mark that someone attributed to Nabeshima but I think they got it wrong

 

I've found this. Page not available but still some info available. The prunus pattern and colour are very similar to my jar.

 

Yes, that does look more like yours.

 

Found this by adding "Arita" to Google image search.
