<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 1742723, member: 8267"]Very interesting, particularly the reference to tokanabe ware on the worthpoint example. A wikipedia entry describes it: "<i><b>Tokanabe</b></i> was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_molding" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Injection_molding" rel="nofollow">mold-pressed</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery" rel="nofollow">pottery</a>, made in Japan for the US market in the 1920s and 30s. It was distributed by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sears" rel="nofollow">Sears Company</a> in their catalogs between 1929 and 1930....No information is available on specific potters, painters, or manufacturers."</p><p>The etsy example is the same shape, and has that circular indentation on the bottom which might be from the molding process. I had noticed the sort of mechanical look. It may be that in addition to molding the pieces with the raised decorations they also made the blank vases for decorating with paint/lacquer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
