    Definitely not old and most likely a studio pieces. Don't know if it is domestic or import. Maybe Japanese? The bottoms are marked with what look like letter M but could be something else. Wonder if the undeplates were meant to be that color or the glaze was hard to control.
    Any thoughts?

    Kind of mulbery. I am just using the general term "peach bloosom" that usually describes the glaze invented by the Chinese.

    The glaze is a copper red glaze, sometimes called Red Chun, that requires being fired in a reduction atmosphere to turn red, the fire that these pots were in did not get a long enough reduction soak to go all red, there was too much oxygen in the atmosphere and that is why all the white/clear. Don't know origin of the pottery, but yes this is Studio Pottery. nice pots :) also may be Tom Coleman's "Coleman Red" glaze. jmho

    Thanks for the replies. There are probably many names for those types of glazes. The pot and the cups turned OK, just the plates are lacking the red color. Wonder if they were fired together with the rest of the set or separately. Still, interesting effect as a whole.
    Would be nice if I can track down the maker.
