    On gotheborg, Hayakawa is only mentioned under Statsuma ware, while Asian Art mentions Kutani

    Is there a specific name for the use of those relief dots? Trying to find similar ware, but the Hayakawa ware I'm finding, don't have those dots. And with Google Lens I only managed to find one saucer with a similar pattern, but it's on a Japanese Yahoo page (https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/g497616017), and that isn't available in the EEA :rolleyes:, so i have no idea what additional info can be found there.
    Google Lens did show part of the title, and it dates the item from the link to the Meiji period.

    Dotted? Beaded?

    I managed to view the yahoo page. This is the set they were selling, with an asking price of 15,000 yen ($100)

    Described as
    "Meiji Period, Export ceramics, Yokohama Ware, Momota Zukuri, Eggshell handled demitasse cup and saucer, dragon design."
    So, not by the same maker, but I guess mine were also made for the European market.

    I believe “moriage” would be the commonly used term for the high relief enamel dots.

    Oh gosh, the definition of moriage has at times been quite the topic! Usually, from what I've learned here on Antiquers, is that moriage is that thick, coloured slip that is used to create raised decoration. I see it most often on early 20th c Japanese wares. Here's Gotheborg's definition: https://gotheborg.com/glossary/moriage.shtml
