    This very fine little 13cm tall Japanese vase looks like Sumida ware but without the addition of climbing figures.

    it is very clearly marked but despite knowing a fair number of Japanese signatures I can’t make this one out. It won’t be on Gothenburg.

    It’s a long shot but any ideas?

    Might not be Japanese. Some British studio potters use pseudo marks.

    In Chinese that character 茂 = Mao
    In Japanese that character = Shigeru

    Could not find the maker. I think this is either Iga-yaki or Bizen-yaki.
