    Good Evening,
    Seeking some thoughts on this bowl, specifically regarding it's origin. It looks like it could be Japanese Oribe pottery. The flowers look like plum blossoms done in common Oribe or Kenzan style. The glaze is really what drew me to it, it't vibrant, bright, and some of the colors (white excluded) are more like an underglaze and transparent- it sort've looks like the work of renown potter Otaga Kenzan ( one could only wish). It measures 6" wide and stands 2" tall. There are no marks or signatures. Thank you and I look forward to hearing your thoughts & opinions.

    It's beautiful, but I am not expert on oriental pottery, someone who knows more than I do could be more helpful.

    Kenzan style, but tons of pieces based on that, was super famous an' all - if you can make the Kenzan moniker stick, you can have a go at my Hamada, ok?
